The summer of 2018 inaugurates the first-ever Orchestra Camp in cooperation with Superar Suisse, which is made possible by the Hilti Foundation. The camp will invite children and teenagers from a wide variety of backgrounds in whose countries free music support is made possible in a model inspired by the El Sistema initiative in Venezuela. Surrounded by Lucerne’s creative and productive Festival atmosphere, these young musicians will spend a week studying and rehearsing a symphonic program. To get you in the mood, we will show the film Kinders by Arash and Arman Riahi, which follows selected participants in a musical support project for children and teenagers as they play music, interact with their families, and are interviewed. A touching film about the desires and fears of children and the power of music to transform.
