The StradivariFEST celebrates its season finale on June 21 with Shostakovich string quartets in Zollikon and a joint aperitif after the concert.

The StradivariFEST "Klangwelle Zürichsee" will celebrate the grand finale of the season on Sunday, June 21, 2026, with a concert in the Buechholz Arena Zollikon. In case of bad weather, the concert will take place in the Buechholz auditorium. The focus will be on three outstanding string quartets by Dmitri Shostakovich, performed by the StradivariQuartett.

Valerio Benz (SRF Kultur) will open the prelude at 16:15 and get the audience in the mood for the musical highlights of the evening. The final concert of the season begins at 17:00.

The program includes the String Quartet No. 1 in C major, op. 49, which offers a wonderful introduction with its fresh and cheerful mood, the famous and deeply moving String Quartet No. 8 in C minor, op. 110, which is one of Shostakovich's most played and most personal works, and the String Quartet No. 7 in F sharp minor, op. 108, which impresses with its compact form and emotional intensity.

With this concert, the StradivariQuartet closes this year's "Klangwelle Zürichsee" season and invites the audience to once again experience the diversity and depth of Shostakovich's string quartets in their full range. The season finale promises an unforgettable musical evening in a festive atmosphere - a worthy conclusion to a fascinating journey through the works of the great Russian composer.
