Martha Argerich Project - The Martha Argerich Project is music festival that is held annually in June in the incredibly beautiful town of Lugano, Switzerland. This year the festival will have a special focus on the music of Tchaikovsky, with Argerich scheduled to perform Tchaikovsky’s 1st concerto in the final concert. I was lucky enough to attend the first festival in 2002, although I unfortunately missed Martha's Schumann Concerto on the opening night as a train strike left me stranded in Milan! The festival's website is a real treasure, containing numerous pictures from the festival and, most importantly, webcast audio recordings of performances from both the every festival to date festivals. A number of these performances have been commercially released by EMI.
