Children and young people from the Lucerne region take on the role of cultural journalists as they report on Festival concerts and interview artists in short podcasts they create and produce all by themselves.
morePlanning a visit to Lucerne Festival with your children, grandchildren, godchildren, or other young music lovers? During the Summer Festival, our popular “Look, Listen, Enjoy” special makes it easy: you pay the regular ticket price, and a ticket for your young companion cost just CHF 10. The offer now applies to all symphony concerts and recitals in the KKL Lucerne Concert Hall.
The Festival Opening on 13 August also promises exciting musical experiences for audiences of all ages, beginning with an “Overture” at the KKL Lucerne and an open-air concert on the Europaplatz – both with free admission. Other highlights include Lakeside Symphony, which is the live broadcast of the Opening Concert on the Inseli, as well as the 40min concert series; both of these are also free. The new concert format “Mittendrin” (“In the Middle of It All”) is especially recommended for families. This format allows the audience to sit on stage, surrounded by the musicians, and offers a close-up view of how music is created. Digital offerings such as the “Classical ABCs” and the children’s podcast “Music for Future” also feature among the offerings.
