About the Event

Symphonic Alternative Rock – An Evening of Modern Melodies

A special concert dedicated to the unforgettable melodies of the past twenty years. “Symphonic Alternative Rock” is an elegant and refreshing tribute to some of the most iconic songs of the alternative scene, newly arranged in instrumental, refined orchestral versions performed by the United Soloists Orchestra.

This is not a rock concert in the traditional sense: no excessive volume, no wild atmosphere. Instead, expect a relaxing, enjoyable, and emotionally rich evening, perfect for an audience that appreciates great music and wishes to rediscover these songs in an intimate, symphonic form.

A true emotional journey, where familiar melodies shine in a new orchestral light.

About the Orchestra

Described by the press as “the ensemble that revolutionizes music in Europe” (Ticino Welcome), the United Soloists Orchestra is a Swiss symphonic ensemble founded in 2017 in Ticino. The ensemble unites young virtuoso soloists from Europe’s most prestigious institutions, including the Tonhalle-Orchester Zürich, Teatro alla Scala and the Royal Concertgebouw.

Radically different from a traditional orchestra, the project is celebrated for breaking down the boundaries between musical genres. Their performances are described as an “explosion of life” (laRegione), combining the highest technical level with a mature, solid and highly expressive sound. In their unique programming, Beethoven dialogues with the Bee Gees and Tchaikovsky embraces Coldplay — creating an atmosphere where, as the media writes, “it is not just music: it is magic!” (Ticino Welcome).

(Translated by Google) A wonderful concert with two completely different reviews from me. The concert with Olga was musically perfect – for that, I give it 5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Unfortunately, the concert experience was significantly marred by a severely obstructed view – for that, it only gets 1 star ⭐. The reason: Throughout the entire concert, there was one person with a camera on each side of the balcony, filming the event. Both cameramen stood directly at the front of the balcony railing, constantly blocking the view of the guests sitting behind them. My clear expectation of the organizer: Cameramen belong behind the paying guests, not directly in front of them at the balcony railing. Rows 5 or 6 on the left and right sides of the balcony would be suitable for this. It is unacceptable that fans and concertgoers who pay around CHF 87 per seat (Category 1) have to accept a severely restricted view for the entire concert. Possible measures for future events: 1. Video recordings should be made from behind the guests, or remote-controlled, professional equipment should be purchased so that no one needs to stand next to the camera. 2. Seats behind the camera operators must be clearly marked as having an obstructed view when booking tickets. 3. These seats must be offered at a significantly reduced price – in my opinion, a price reduction of at least 50% would be appropriate. 4. Alternatively, such seats could be provided free of charge, for example, following the principle of free admission for children up to 6 years old, at a Wednesday evening concert until approximately 10:00 p.m. A Wednesday evening concert from 7:30 p.m. to approximately 10:00 p.m. should ultimately be a pleasant experience for all guests – and not an event where, despite having paid for a ticket, you spend the entire evening staring at a camera and the back of a man. My conclusion: The concert ensemble with Olga deserves 5 stars. The organization of the camera positions, unfortunately, only deserves 1 star. There is definitely a great need for action here for future events. (Original) Ein wunderbares Konzert mit zwei völlig unterschiedlichen Bewertungen meinerseits. Das Konzert mit Olga war musikalisch perfekt – dafĂŒr gibt es von mir 5 Sterne ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Leider wurde das Konzerterlebnis durch eine massiv beeintrĂ€chtigte Sicht erheblich getrĂŒbt – dafĂŒr gibt es lediglich 1 Stern ⭐. Der Grund: Auf dem Balkon standen links und rechts wĂ€hrend des gesamten Konzerts je eine Person mit einer Kamera und filmten die Veranstaltung. Beide Kameraleute standen direkt vorne am BalkongelĂ€nder und versperrten den dahinter sitzenden GĂ€sten dauerhaft die Sicht. Meine klare Erwartung an den Veranstalter: Kameraleute gehören hinter die zahlenden GĂ€ste und nicht direkt vor sie ans BalkongelĂ€nder. DafĂŒr wĂ€ren beispielsweise die Balkonreihen 5 oder 6 auf der linken und rechten Seite geeignet. Es kann nicht sein, dass Fans und Konzertbesucher, die rund CHF 87.– pro Sitzplatz bezahlen (Kategorie 1), wĂ€hrend des gesamten Konzerts eine massiv eingeschrĂ€nkte Sicht in Kauf nehmen mĂŒssen. Mögliche Massnahmen fĂŒr zukĂŒnftige Veranstaltungen: 1. Videoaufnahmen hinter den GĂ€sten ausfĂŒhren oder ferngesteuerte, professionelle GerĂ€te kaufen, bei welchem keine Person neben der Kamera stehen muss. 2. SitzplĂ€tze hinter den Kameraleuten mĂŒssen bereits bei der Buchung eindeutig als PlĂ€tze mit eingeschrĂ€nkter Sicht gekennzeichnet werden. 3. Diese PlĂ€tze mĂŒssen entsprechend deutlich gĂŒnstiger angeboten werden – aus meiner Sicht wĂ€re eine Preisreduktion von mindestens 50 % angemessen. 4. Alternativ könnten solche PlĂ€tze auch kostenlos zur VerfĂŒgung gestellt werden, beispielsweise nach dem Prinzip der KinderfreiplĂ€tze bis 6 Jahre, an einem Konzert am Mittwochabend bis ca. 22.00 Uhr. Ein Konzert am Mittwochabend von 19.30 bis ca. 22.00 Uhr sollte schliesslich fĂŒr alle GĂ€ste ein schönes Erlebnis sein – und nicht zu einer Veranstaltung werden, bei der man trotz bezahltem Ticket den Abend auf eine Kamera und RĂŒcken eines Mannes blickt. Mein Fazit: Das Konzertensemble mit Olga verdient 5 Sterne. Die Organisation der Kamerapositionen leider nur 1 Stern. Hier besteht fĂŒr zukĂŒnftige Veranstaltungen definitiv sehr grosser Handlungsbedarf.

(Translated by Google) Fantastic concert with wonderful musicians and singers. It's a shame so many people left the hall before the concert was over. That's just not done, especially not for the soloists. My wife and I are looking forward to the next concert. (Original) Super Konzert mit tollen Musikerinnen und SĂ€ngerinnen. Schade verliessen viele den Saal vor dem eigentlichen Konzertende. GegenĂŒber den Solisten ein grosses "macht man nicht". Meine Frau und ich freuen uns auf das nĂ€chste Konzert.
