It has been announced that next month’s Lugano festival of Martha Argerich and friends will be the last.

The BSI bank said it was pulling out after 15 years and no other sponsor has been found.

Martha, who is 75 next month, made the festival a unique setting for informal music making, far into the night. It’s a sad way to end.
