Music says more than 1000 words. True, and yet it's also true that the more you know, the more you hear. Which is why Lucerne Festival supplements its concerts with a varied program of related events: concert introductions, the panel discussion, pre-concerts and post-concert Talks all enhance your experience of the music.
