In cooperation with the Paul Sacher Foundation

Heinz Holliger has been closely associated with LUCERNE FESTIVAL for almost six decades: as a composer, oboist, and conductor. He was a member of the former Swiss Festival Orchestra, shaped the program as composer-in-residence in 1998, and has also collaborated with the LUCERNE FESTIVAL ACADEMY on several occasions. Holliger thus is part of the family. In May he will turn 80 – and we will celebrate this anniversary later with a chamber concert. The honoree himself will perform pieces that Rudolf Kelterborn and György Kurtág wrote for him. Kurtág, Younghi Pagh-Pan, and Roland Moser have created new works in Holliger’s honor. The program also presents important works by Holliger, including the Second String Quartet, which violinist Thomas Zehetmair once described as an “explosion of color,” and Not I, a monodrama based on Samuel Beckett. Holliger has characterized this piece for soprano as a “Verstummung” (“being silenced”), since the soloist’s stream of words is electronically multiplied and defamiliarized live, becoming increasingly blurred before, in the end, it is completely extinguished.

Venue Info

KKL Luzern - Lucerne
Location   Europaplatz 1

KKL Luzern’s spectacular architecture designed by Pritzker Prize winner Jean Nouvel and the quality of its facilities set this venue apart from more traditional culture and convention centres. Its trade-mark is the common theme of culture, conferences and culinary choices – the complete experience orchestrated under the famous roof. The building is situated in the heart of Switzerland, only one hour by train from Zurich Airport, within walking distance of Lucerne’s finest hotels and a few sheltered steps from the international railway station. It is the perfect venue for your next premium event, such as product launches, anniversary celebrations and award ceremonies, high-profile meetings, receptions and banquets.

Concert Hall
The showpiece of the KKL Luzern is its renowned Concert Hall with 1,898 seats and acoustics that provide incredible sound and inspire the world’s leading conductors, orchestras and soloists to perform at their best.

Conventions
The outstanding Concert Hall with its multifunctional usage, is also an exciting possibility for conventions. A wide screen is hidden above the stage and may be lowered for awards, product presentations and other events. Interpreting booths and excellent infrastructure are at hand for a most memorable convention or meeting or live television broadcast.

Two water canals frame the Lucerne Hall, a venue that is also unique in its adaptability and convertible for 200 up to 1,800 guests. It can be used for a variety of settings including product presentations, congresses, concerts and banquets. With its appropriate audiovisual facilities, variable height staging and mobile rostrum, all combined with the deliberately simple design of the hall, the organizer will find creative freedom to style the event.

The Auditorium for up to 271 listeners, too, is equipped with state-of-the-art congress installations and, like the Lucerne Hall, provides an attractive setting for conferences. Event organizers are also increasingly discovering the Crystal Lounge, the attractive meeting point in the KKL Luzern. It boasts an oval-shaped bar that can be moved around the space, allowing for maximum flexibility and turning the lounge into a premier events venue.

Culinary experiences
The cuisine facilities of the KKL Luzern offer organizers and guests all kinds of catering options and total culinary experiences. Packages and offers – such as refreshing time-outs, cocktail receptions for networking, stand-up lunches, seated dinners or exclusive lounge experiences – can be tailored to the organizer’s specific needs.
