Experience Alex Wilson live on October 24th

Alex Wilson will perform at Mkla, located in Lachen, Switzerland on October 24, 2026. Wilson is a British composer and pianist known for his distinctive blend of jazz, classical, and world music influences, often incorporating elements of his Scottish heritage. His compositions frequently feature intricate piano work alongside orchestral arrangements and diverse instrumentation, creating atmospheric and emotionally resonant soundscapes. He has released several albums to critical acclaim and collaborated with a variety of artists across genres.

Mkla is a uniquely situated cultural venue constructed within a former ammunition storage facility dating back to the Swiss army’s fortifications built during World War II. Located high above Lake Zurich, the space underwent extensive renovation beginning in 2018 to transform it into an arts center. The building’s original robust concrete structure is intentionally preserved as a key aesthetic element, contrasting with modern additions. It focuses on interdisciplinary projects encompassing visual arts, music, performance and literature. The venue's remote location and architectural history contribute to its distinct atmosphere and appeal as a destination for artistic experiences. It aims to foster dialogue between art forms and connect audiences with challenging contemporary work.
