Great music live in Lucerne – the new 2026/27 season

Beethoven and the 200th anniversary of his death form the powerhouse of the 2026/27 season – not as a rigid motto, but as a starting point. From here, a wealth of sound worlds opens up, between Mahler, Rachmaninoff and Brahms, powerful voices and choirs, as well as special concert experiences in the KKL Luzern and at other venues.

With international guests, leading soloists and Chief Conductor Michael Sanderling, the Luzerner Sinfonieorchester combines local roots with international appeal – at the KKL Luzern and far beyond.
