PC-24, ein musikalischer Alpenflug (a musical flight over the Alps) was commissioned by Dan Dodds and the Festival Strings Lucerne. The piece commemorates the launch of a new aircraft by Pilatus Werke Stans.

​

The musical structure follows the programmatic idea of the construction of an aircraft: from first ideas, drawing plans over to the work in the assembly hall and to the take off and finally flying over the alps and disappearing on the horizon.

​

Conducted by orchestra leader Dan Dodds, the piece was premiered at KKL Lucerne alongside a Beethoven programme, including a piano concerto with the great Austrian pianist Rudolf Buchbinder.
