Tugan Sokhiev live in Bern

Experience Tugan Sokhiev live on April 30th

Tugan Sokhiev, a Russian conductor renowned for his interpretations of Romantic and 20th/21st-century repertoire, will perform at the Casino Bern on April 30, 2027. Sokhiev’s conducting is frequently described as possessing a dramatic intensity coupled with a lyrical sensitivity, often highlighting the emotional core of the compositions he leads. He has a particular affinity for works by composers such as Shostakovich, Rachmaninoff, and Prokofiev, but his repertoire extends broadly to include Western European classics.

The Casino Bern itself holds a significant place in the cultural landscape of the city. Originally constructed in 1867 as a spa and meeting place – *Kursaal* – it quickly evolved to incorporate gambling facilities. Throughout its history, it has undergone several renovations and expansions while retaining its Belle Époque architectural features. Beyond its casino function, the venue regularly hosts concerts, conferences, and other events. The *Grosses Casino Bern* concert hall is known for its acoustics and intimate setting, accommodating approximately 900 attendees. It is considered an important hub for musical performances within the canton of Bern and has hosted numerous internationally recognized artists over the years.
