Supporting young musicians is especially close to Anne-Sophie Mutter’s heart. To this end, she founded the Anne-Sophie Mutter Foundation in 2008 and can now look back on an impressive roster of distinguished scholarship recipients, including Vilde Frang, Sergey Khachatryan, Daniel Müller-Schott, and Kian Soltani. Her latest discovery is Elias David Moncado, born in 2000: a German-Spanish-Malaysian violinist who won the Grand Prix and ten special prizes at the Karol Lipiński Competition in Poland, gave his first recital at New York’s Carnegie Hall in 2025, and will release his debut album on the Warner Classics label in 2026. For this Lucerne debut, he will perform Maurice Ravel’s irresistible Violin Sonata, an American-inspired work with a “blue” movement at its center. Playing the “Ludwig, ex-Szigeti” Stradivari, he will also tackle high-virtuoso fare such as Franz Waxman’s finger-breaking Carmen Fantasie. And four more of Mutter’s protégés will also appear in this extraordinary debut concert, performing two brand-new pieces that Anne-Sophie Mutter commissioned especially for them to mark the 50th anniversary of her Lucerne stage debut — works now receiving their world premieres. For championing new music is another of this great virtuoso’s passions.
