Lahav Shani has pursued many professions and vocations. He began his musical career as a double bass player in the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra. At the same time, he developed so rapidly as a pianist that he was even able to embark on a career as a soloist, playing concertos by Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff, performing as a duo with Martha Argerich, and giving regular solo recitals. However, he is now best known as a conductor: the Munich Philharmonic has already secured the young Israeli star as its future chief conductor. Before he officially takes up his post in 2026, he will come to Lucerne for two concerts with his new orchestra, and he will appear in a dual role. For the opening of the second evening, you can experience his artistry as a conducting pianist as he leads J.S. Bach’s famous Piano Concerto in D minor from the keyboard. He will then focus on Anton Bruckner and his “swan song,” the unfinished Ninth Symphony. Bruckner is one of his chosen favorites from the repertoire: “He fuses the whole orchestra, all the voices, into a single organism,” explains Shani. “These are fantastic sonic mixtures, a deep, magnificent sound.”
