*A valid ticket is required for admission to the 40min series concerts

For ten years now, we’ve been introducing selected artists and works in the 40min series, presenting music and conversation early in the evening — and, for the first time this summer, as part of a 40min Special. Admission is free, there is no dress code, and no prior knowledge is necessary.

With the Lucerne Festival Contemporary Orchestra (LFCO), which was launched in 2021, Lucerne Festival has established an orchestra of excellence for new and contemporary music. As a counterpart to the Lucerne Festival Orchestra, it focuses on 20th- and 21st-century scores, ranging from modern classics to commissioned works that are premiered in Lucerne.
