Experience Rachel Podger live on March 14th

Rachel Podger, a highly regarded British Baroque violinist, will perform at the ZKO-Haus in Zurich on March 14, 2027. Podger is known for her historically informed performance practice, prioritizing research into the performance techniques and aesthetics of the Baroque and Classical periods. Her playing is characterized by expressive phrasing, clarity of articulation, and a vibrant tonal palette, often utilizing original or meticulously reconstructed instruments and bows from the relevant eras. She frequently performs solo repertoire as well as chamber music and concertos by composers such as Bach, Handel, and Vivaldi.

The ZKO-Haus (Zürcher Kunsthaus Organisation Haus) serves as a multi-purpose event space affiliated with the Kunsthaus Zürich, one of Switzerland’s most significant art museums. Originally constructed in 1937 as a storage facility for the Kunsthaus’s expanding collection – specifically designed to house large-scale sculptures and installations – it was later adapted for use as an exhibition and event venue. The building underwent extensive renovations completed in 2020, enhancing its acoustic properties and technical capabilities while retaining its industrial character.
