25-25-25 - Everyone to the KKL Luzern: The successful competition enters its second round!

The competition, which offers cultural organisations from Central Switzerland the opportunity to present their creative concepts in the world-famous concert hall of the KKL Luzern for just CHF 25, is entering its second round: while the first winning project "Volksmusik - ächt Äntlibuech" will be staged in April 2025, it is already time to submit projects for 2026.

For the 25th anniversary of the KKL Luzern in 2023, a unique birthday present could be made to the population: "25-25-25 - Everyone to the KKL Luzern!". In an annual competition, all cultural operators in Central Switzerland are given the opportunity to submit their special concept for a 25-25-25 event. The KKL Luzern is making its world-famous concert hall available for the performance of the project, including the extensive services for the event, for the symbolic amount of CHF 25! The KKL Family is responsible for organising the competition and provides its expertise by advising on the implementation of the event.

Sixteen projects from all over Central Switzerland were entered in the first round of the competition last year. The winning project "Volksmusik - ächt Äntlibuech" was selected by the jury and will take place on Monday, 14 April 2025. This project convinced the jury with its anchoring in the regional music scene and its focus on new KKL visitors. Several larger and smaller concerts for young and old are planned as part of the event. Thus "Volksmusik - ächt Äntlibuech" ideally fulfils the requirements and objectives of "25-25-25 - Alle ins KKL Luzern!". The KKL Luzern can be experienced as a low-threshold venue for culture and encounters: the doors are also wide open to people who have not yet set foot in this first-class concert hall.

The competition for the 2026 edition is now being launched: Cultural practitioners in Central Switzerland are once again invited to submit their projects by Thursday, 31 October 2024: kkl-family.ch/25-25-25. 

The projects are intended to pave the way for as many people as possible to visit the KKL Luzern for the first time. In addition to the quality and creativity of the cultural, non-commercial projects, the jury will once again take diversity into account when selecting projects and is looking forward to receiving submissions from all regions, sectors and styles.
