They love classical music as well as sharing outstanding concert experiences. This is why the Friends of Lucerne Festival support one of the world’s leading music festivals.

Who are the Friends?

The Friends are an indispensable partner of Lucerne Festival: with their personal commitment and generous annual donations, they make a valuable contribution to the financial security and sustainability of the Festival. In doing so, they are not only committed to promoting the Festival today, but also to its further development. For example, the Friends foster outstanding young talent within the framework of the Lucerne Festival Academy and Music for Future, thus creating a basis for the artistic work of tomorrow.

Support Lucerne Festival

Firmly anchored in Lucerne as a city of music and throughout Switzerland, and at the same time internationally networked, the Friends of Lucerne Festival offer you the opportunity to heighten your concert experience through exclusive discussions with artists, encounters with music experts or rehearsal visits while also becoming part of a community of music enthusiasts and the “festival family”. Treat yourself — or someone else — to a Lucerne Festival Friends membership!
