Václav Luks live in City of Edinburgh

Experience Václav Luks live on April 22nd

On April 22, 2027, Václav Luks will perform at The Queen’s Hall in Edinburgh, United Kingdom. Luks is a Czech harpsichordist, conductor and pedagogue known for his historically informed performance practice, particularly focusing on Baroque and early Classical repertoire. His musical style emphasizes clarity of articulation, a nuanced understanding of ornamentation, and a commitment to recreating the sound world of the composers he interprets. He frequently directs ensembles from the keyboard, prioritizing chamber-like textures even with larger forces.

The Queen’s Hall is a significant concert venue in Edinburgh, Scotland. Originally built between 1820 and 1823 as an assembly hall designed by William Burn and David Bryce, it served various purposes including public meetings and dances before becoming primarily a music venue. Notably, it hosted the inaugural Edinburgh International Festival concert in 1947. The building underwent substantial refurbishment in the late 20th century to improve its acoustics and facilities while preserving its architectural integrity. It is recognised for its excellent acoustics and intimate atmosphere despite its capacity of approximately 900 seats.
