Lucerne Festival is one of the leading international festivals in the world of classical music and presents a series of classical music festivals based in Lucerne, Switzerland.[1][2] Founded in 1938 by Ernest Ansermet and Walter Schulthess, it currently produces three festivals per year.[1] Since 1999, Michael Haefliger has been its Executive and Artistic Director.[3]
Each festival features resident orchestras and soloists alongside guest performances from international ensembles and artists. The central festival takes place in summer from mid-August to mid-September and offers a widely varied range of approximately 100 concerts and related events primarily at the Lucerne Culture and Congress Centre (KKL) designed by Jean Nouvel.[4]
