Swiss premiere

She was expected to play only a supporting role at the famous Last Night of the Proms in September 2018, with the limelight going to the star guest, the baritone Gerald Finley. But Jess Gillam came, played, and conquered. “A saxophonist steals the show from everyone,” was the BBC News headline. “She may only be 20 years old, but Jess Gillam was the undisputed highlight of the evening.” This performance, watched by an international audience of millions on television, may have been her most spectacular success, but it wasn’t her first. As early as 2016, Jess Gillam won the Woodwind Competition at the BBC Young Musician of the Year, subsequently appearing with several BBC orchestras and performing as a soloist with the Gothenburg Symphony, Tampere Philharmonic, Manchester Camerata, Royal Northern Sinfonia, and, in Switzerland, Argovia Philharmonic. The record label Decca signed Gillam exclusively, and in 2018 she was also awarded the Classical Brit Award. She is making her debut in Lucerne with a varied program ranging from a Baroque concerto to chanson.

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.
