General information

Opened in 2020, Salquin Hall is the new building of the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts Department of Music located on the Südpol campus. It was named after Hedy Salquin (1928-2012) from Kriens, who was Switzerland's first woman conductor, as well as a pianist, chamber musician, and composer.
