Квітень 4, 2023

Villa Senar, which was the Swiss summer ho of the Russian composer Sergei Rachmaninov, is to be opened up for the public for a variety of dates. The ho, which stands on the banks of Lake Lucerne, was built in one thousand nine hundred-thirtieth in the Bauhaus style. It's named for both Rachmaninov and his wife — "Senar" being made up of "Se" ( Sergei), "Na" ( Natalia), and a final R for Rachmaninov. The couple d the villa as a summer ho between one thousand nine hundred thirty-three and one thousand nine hundred thirty-nine, and the space retains Rachnaminov's original piano. In two thousand twenty-second, both the land and the ho were purchased by the Canton of Lucerne for as a cultural center. The Canton is working alongside the Serge Rachmaninoff Foundation to create the ho open to the public at certain times, so that people can obtain a glimpse into the composer's life. In general, the ho is only open by appointment — but there are several provisional dates in May two thousand twenty-three when the Foundation will open the ho to the public.
