Want to get a taste of the Festival? Everyone is welcome to the new open-air kickoff and our popular 40min events — with free admission.
An opening for everyone: We launch the Festival with a major open-air concert on the Europaplatz, right in front of the KKL Lucerne. And the music is a perfect match for what we hope will be a glorious summer evening — classic Cuban hits meet rhythmcharged arrangements of classical favorites. Free admission.
Havana Lyceum Orchestra | José Antonio Méndez Padrón | Sarah Willis
Classical music in short form — free of charge and refreshingly casual. Through music and conversation, we’ll introduce you to select artists and works in the early evening: young talents and major stars, beloved classics and adventurous new sounds.
