Agenda

Experience masterpieces by Beethoven and Mendelssohn with the Lucerne Festival Orchestra, Riccardo Chailly and the young violin virtuoso Emmanuel Tjeknavorian. After the concert you will have the opportunity to connect with the artists.

We will send the invitation end of February.

Víkingur Ólafsson plays, among other works, the famous F minor Piano Concerto by Johann Sebastian Bach. On the podium you will experience Maestra Elim Chan. After the concert we will meet the exceptional pianist and his artistic collaborators.

We will send the invitation mid of April.

What a magnificent festival evening! Star violinist Ray Chen performs the lush Violin Concerto by Erich Wolfgang Korngold. Then we head for the heights: Jakub Hrůša conducts the Lucerne Festival Orchestra in Richard Strauss’s An Alpine Symphony. With its vast orchestral forces, it portrays a mountain ascent — hunting horns and cowbells, waterfalls and storms included. We will round off the evening together with the orchestra’s musicians.

We will send the invitation at July.

This year again gives you an opportunity to attend orchestra rehearsals. These rehearsal visits at the KKL Luzern will be supplemented by hosted talks with artists. Dates to be announced later.

New sounds and several new programmatic features await you at our autumn festival for contemporary music. Look forward to unusual, ear-opening listening experiences, to Jörg Widmann, and to the young musicians of the Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra (LFCO)!
