Forward 2026

Curious about what’s new? Lucerne Festival Forward is where you'll find out. Every November, Lucerne Festival Forward gives a platform to contemporary music performed by the young musicians of the Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra (LFCO), our flagship ensemble dedicated to the performance of new and cutting-edge music.

We will announce the program for the next Forward Festival (20–22 November 2026) at the end of June 2026.

New musical experiences need strong partners with vision. We sincerely thank our Founding Partner for their indispensable commitment!
