Lucerne Festival Academy 2012

The Lucerne Festival Academy was founded in 2004 by Pierre Boulez in conjunction with the Festival's executive director Michael Haefliger. Since then, some 130 highly gifted young musicians from all corners of the globe have gathered together every summer to study contemporary scores and modern masterpieces. Working together in daily rehearsals, workshops, and lessons, the participants receive the basic equipment for performing contemporary music.

The teaching staff is made up of members of the Parisian Ensemble intercontemporain, one of the most celebrated ensembles in the field of modern music. The works in the syllabus are then presented to the public in orchestral concerts and ensemble recitals.
