Lucerne Festival and BirdLife Lucerne continue their partnership

2024.09.06

　　Directly after the concert of the Lucerne Festival Orchestra in the KKL Concert Hall with Antonio Vivaldi's The Four Seasons, the concert audience and passers-by on Europaplatz were in for a big surprise: the musicians stepped out of the building shortly before 12:00 noon and once again tuned individual movements from the Four Seasons. The short pop-up concert was entitled "Play for Birds" and followed on from last year's successful sing-along event "Sing for Birds", which was held in June 2023. Lucerne Festival wanted to use the campaign to once again draw attention to the endangered situation of the bird world. Lucerne Festival donates CHF 15,000 as part of "Play for Birds".
