The Orchestra della Svizzera Italiana has announced a cast change for its performance on Oct. 4, 2024 at the Settimane Musicali di Ascona.

Mühlemann will perform Mahler’s Symphony No.4 under the direction of Markus Poschner. She has previously performed at the Settimane Musicali di Ascona where she debuted in 2021. This season the Swiss soprano is set to perform in Zurich, Vienna, Berlin, Monte0Carlo, Luxembourg, Dortmund, Lucerne, Hamburg, and Baden-Baden, among many other cities.
