Programme

Overview

Let yourself be enchanted by the French-Swiss hit film "Les Choristes" ("The Children of Monsieur Mathieu") and the voices of the Boys Choir Lucerne in the concert hall!

The story about Monsieur Mathieu and his work with difficult boys took the hearts of more than 15 million moviegoers by storm. The international press in Paris voted “Les Choristes” the best film of 2004. This was followed by two Césars and two Oscar nominations in the categories “best foreign language film” and “best film music”. Now this sensitive, nostalgic music film with the Boys Choir Lucerne and the 50-piece City Light Symphony Orchestra in the KKL Lucerne shines in new splendor.

"Les Choristes" is an atmospheric remake of "La cage aux rossignols" ("The Nightingale Cage") from 1945. Monsieur Mathieu is an unemployed composer who, in the late 1940s, took up a new position as a teacher in a boarding school for the difficult to train boys accepts. The prevailing educational methods are strict, which only increases the rebellious behavior of the students.

Monsieur Mathieu wants to meet this with more humanity, which irritates the boarding school administration. He founds a choir and gradually succeeds in awakening the joy of singing in the students and in presenting them with a necessary outlet for the pent-up emotions.

In "Les Choristes" the music plays a real leading role. The Paris-born Bruno Coulais composed all the songs, while director Christophe Barratier wrote the lyrics. The lyrical and catchy choral songs are excellently embedded in the symphonic music for strings, woodwinds, harp, celesta and piano.

Experience this heartwarming music film on the big screen in the concert hall of the KKL Luzern, while the Boys Choir Lucerne (choreographer: Andreas Wiedmer) and the City Light Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Anthony Gabriele, perform the film music live and with pinpoint accuracy.

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.
