This is an orchestra that consistently gives its all. From the softest pianissimo to the most powerful fortissimo, from lyrical lines to incisive attack, the Lucerne Festival Orchestra makes the most of every contrast while eliciting the finest nuances from the music.

At Lucerne Festival Spring (19–21 March 2027), the Lucerne Festival Orchestra will explore the “Mozart Myth.” Alongside the unfinished Requiem, around which countless legends have grown up, the program includes Mozart’s final three symphonies. Robin Ticciati and Jörg Widmann, Artistic Director of the Lucerne Festival Academy, will each conduct the Orchestra for the first time. Star violinist Christian Tetzlaff will also join them to perform Mozart’s brilliant “Alla turca” Violin Concerto.

We will announce the Lucerne Festival Orchestra’s concerts at the 2027 Summer Festival 2027 (12 August–12 September) at the end of January.
