The inclusive project “THE BIG ENSEMBLE” is coming to Lucerne!
THE BIG ENSEMBLE is an experimental and interdisciplinary stage work that unites musicians and dancers with and without disabilities. THE BIG ENSEMBLE celebrates inclusion and diversity. After its premiere in Bern, it will tour throughout Switzerland.
On January 21, 2025, THE BIG ENSEMBLE will be a guest in Lucerne. Together with the core team of the inclusive ensemble “Tabula Musica”, musicians from the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra, the Lucerne Festival Orchestra, students from the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts – Music and teachers from the Lucerne School of Music will perform together on stage at the KKL Luzern. The combination of acoustic instruments and modern electronic sounds from synthesizers and adaptable music technology is what makes the musical experience so special. The visual level is also included by using motion tracking to convert the dancers’ movements into sound. The 50-minute stage work includes new compositions and arrangements that were put together especially for the participating artists.
The performance at the KKL Luzern is a project initiative by Tabula Musica and the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra and takes place in cooperation with the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts – Music, the Lucerne School of Music and Lucerne Festival.
Access measures and accessibility
The concert will be held as a “Relaxed Performance”: Through a variety of access measures and personal advice when booking tickets, we want to ensure that people from very different backgrounds feel invited as an audience and comfortable in the hall. The concert is suitable for all people aged 4 and over who enjoy listening to music and are curious. All information about the access measures can be found further down on this page.

Supporting program
Before the concert, there will be an installation in the panorama foyer from 5 p.m. where you can try out the music technology instruments: Making music with your own body movements or just the blink of an eye? Or conjure up dancing pictures on the wall? All this is possible!
On January 16, 2025, a film by Kleintheater Luzern will be shown at Stadtkino Luzern, followed by a panel discussion on the topic of inclusion of people with disabilities in culture.
