Famous orchestras, legendary conductors, and virtuoso soloists join together three times a year on the idyllic location of Lake Lucerne to celebrate the joy of music. In the concert hall designed by Jean Nouvel, which is renowned for its phenomenal acoustics and its exquisite architecture alike, they encounter an audience that is no less international and sophisticated. The Summer Festival is the largest of this festival trilogy. Every year since 2003 it has been launched by the LUCERNE FESTIVAL ORCHESTRA, which Claudio Abbado founded in 2003. Starting in the summer of 2016 Riccardo Chailly will helm this splendid ensemble comprising internationally acclaimed soloists, chamber musicians, teachers, and members of the Mahler Chamber Orchestra. With the LUCERNE FESTIVAL ACADEMY, which was founded in 2003 by Pierre Boulez and which will be led for the first time this summer by Wolfgang Rihm, the Festival includes its own master school for new music where highly talented young musicians from all over the world devote themselves excessively to the performance of works from the 20th and 21st centuries.

1. Am lucerne festival habe ich viele herrliche Sinfoniekonzerte gehört von 1995 bis 2012 ich liebe die Stadt, die Raddampfer (Dampfschiffe) den See und den Hausberg Pilatus oder die feinen dîner im "Wilden Mann" nach einem Konzert.
   Doch nun mit nur 260€ Rente pro Monat ist das alles vorbei. Weder Reise, Hotelaufenthalt und Konzertkarten zu den ganz grossen Ereignissen sind mehr drin !So freue ich mich, wenn das eine oder andere Konzert auf Arte ausgestrahlt wird, das ich in Paris miterleben darf.Ein wenig Heimweh zum KKL bleibt wohl für immer !
