A musical exploration of the past on Lake Zurich's Upper shores – Sybille Diethelm (soprano) and Fabienne Romer (piano), together with historians Basil Vollenweider and David Schwarb, present an evening of music exploring the history of Lake Zurich's Upper shores. Music, historical sources, and surprising stories intertwine to create an evening that is both entertaining and moving.

The program includes works by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Franz Curti, Joachim Raff, Arthur Brändlin, and Artur Beul, as well as the Einsiedeln Salve Regina. The program also focuses on the Curti family, who have close ties to the region.
