TONHALLE ZÜRICH 2022
The special sound
There is hardly a superlative that has been left out: The Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich paints special sound pictures that come together to form beautiful musical images in the concert hall. Together they form a unit that is among the best in the world. In 2021, this history will experience a new climax: after four years of renovation, the concert hall in the Tonhalle am See will reopen. Under the direction of music director Paavo Järvi, the ensemble returns to its home venue. A worthy occasion to present the European Cultural Awards in the reopening year on September 24, 2022, exactly there. Great music, passionate musicians from 20 nations, a 150-year history – a perfect liaison for an extraordinary evening that also echoes one of the orchestra’s principles. Seeing and feeling music as an intergenerational bond, giving the next generation the right foundation for a cultural role in personal and urban life. The European Culture Award 2022 in Zurich honors this commitment with a grand gala featuring renowned personalities from the arts and culture.
