Agenda

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 are delighted to invite you to our next Friends event:

Sunday, 17 May, 7:15 p.m. after the concert | KKL Lucerne, Terrace Hall
The evening will begin with a welcome drink and a personal address by Markus Hongler, followed by an artist talk with Sebastian Nordmann. Afterwards, you will have the opportunity to round off the evening together with the concert’s artists at an apéro riche.

We are happy to receive your RSVP via the form here or using the button below. The registration deadline is 3 May.

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)!
