Michael Seltenreich

Let's sharpen our ears for the music of the 21st century!

Each Summer, Lucerne Festival partners with the Ernst von Siemens
Music Foundation to present the "räsonanz" – Donor Concert where
contemporary works are performed by top international orchestras
and renowned soloists. On 12 September, the Munich Philharmonic
and Lahav Shani have four exciting discoveries in store for all
curious listeners. They will present, among other works, the
Swiss premiere of "The Prisoner's Dilemma" by New York-based
Israeli Michael Seltenreich (a commission by the Israel
Philharmonic Orchestra, the Munich Philharmonic, and Lucerne
Festival, with funding from the Ernst von Siemens Music
Foundation).

Lucerne Festival dramaturge Mark Sattler sat down with Michael
Seltenreich to discuss the origin of his large-scale piece, how
it has been perceived in Seltenreich's native country, and what
he's most curious for when it comes to the Swiss premiere of "The
Prisoner's Dilemma".

Hear the Swiss premiere of "The Prisoner's Dilemma" live at the
"räsonanz" – Donor Concert" on 12 September at Lucerne Festival.
Lahav Shani will conduct the Munich Philharmonic.
