Let's sharpen our ears for the music of the 21st century!
The "Roche Young Commissions" were created in 2013 as part of the partnership of Roche with Lucerne Festival and the Lucerne Festival Academy: Every two years this program gives out commissions for new works to two emerging composers. This summer, the Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra (LFCO) will yet again premiere two exciting new scores. Get to know them in our podcast "Deep Listening: New Music".

Talking to dramaturge Mark Sattler, the composers and conductors discuss, how they approached the new works Ikone and Estructura IV "Dämonische Iris" which both will have their world premieres with the Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra (LFCO) on 26 August 2023.
