Lucerne Festival has published the Pulse 2027 programme. Running from 6–9 May 2027, the series is curated by Víkingur Ólafsson around the theme “Spirit & Matter”.
The programme includes cellist Alisa Weilerstein, pianist Joep Beving, guitarist Sean Shibe, soprano Álfheiður Erla Guðmundsdóttir and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra. KKL Luzern is the main venue, with selected activity also linked to Vitznau.
When do tickets go on sale?
Official sales begin at 10:00 Central European Time on 24 November, also 10:00 in Budapest. Selected programme entries show prices from CHF 30, but the final amount depends on the event and seating category.
The curatorial arc is more than a list of performers: over four days it explores the relationship between spiritual ideas and physical sound through instrumental and vocal forms.
Reader and business value
A clear sales time and concentrated theme make the series easy to plan as a cultural trip. It can signal a premium multi-day audience for Lucerne hospitality partners, but the programme alone does not prove a sell-out or spending level.
Summary
Lucerne Festival Pulse runs in Lucerne from 6–9 May 2027, curated by Víkingur Ólafsson. Ticket sales begin at 10:00 CET on 24 November.
