Lucerne Festival is committed to the younger generation. We are therefore delighted when schoolchildren visit us at the KKL Luzern and our other venues so they can become immersed in the fascinating world of classical music – whether by attending a concert, visiting a rehearsal, or enjoying our exclusive school concerts, to which groups and classes are admitted free of charge.

But we also visit the students at their schools: every summer, young soloists who perform in the “Debut” series at Lucerne Festival head out to schools across the Lucerne region to give concerts that include talking about and introducing the music.

Detailed information as well as registration forms will be available starting in May. If you would like to stay informed about our offerings in advance, please register here:

ABC’s of Classical Music

How long is a tuba? What does the concert hall have to do with a shoe box? Can a baton make music? Our web series for ages 8 and up presents selected terms from the ABC’s of classical music using short videos (in German but with visuals and musical examples).

Discounts

For events that are not sold out, special online offers will be available during the 2026 Summer Festival for students and secondary-school or vocational students up to and including age 29, starting two hours before the concert begins (these may only be booked online).
