The Zuger Sinfonietta are exploring their limits, inviting in the form of Finnish pianist Olli Mustonen an artist who before and after his performance in Zug will be playing with leading orchestras from Berlin, New York, London and Amsterdam. And how did the Zuger Sinfonietta manage to compete with these orchestras? They gave Mustonen free range to showcase his full range of talents – the gifted pianist, the smooth conductor and the inquisitive composer – so much so that even a big name like Olli Mustonen will be exploring his own limits.
