"Beethoven forever!"

Lucerne Festival Spring 2026 marked the conclusion of the Lucerne Festival Orchestra's exciting Beethoven cycle, new and re-newed friendships with soloists Leif-Ove Andsnes, Kirill Gerstein, Julia Hagen, and Emmanuel Tjeknavorian, a bitter-sweet farewell to the Hagen Quartett, and much more. What a start to the festival season!
