The Summer of “Diversity” at Lucerne Festival will be opened by the Chineke! Junior Orchestra. For this evening, the latter include the British late-Romantic composer Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and the Canadian Stewart Goodyear (b. 1978), whose Caribbean suite Callaloo features Gerard Aimontche, playing the solo piano part. A discovery also awaits on the podium with the young Venezuelan conductor Glass Marcano, who won the La Maestra Competition in Paris in 2020.
