10th Lucerne Music School Competition
The Lucerne Music School launched the Lucerne Music School Competition in 1998, a platform that enables participants to exchange ideas and meet like-minded people. In its anniversary year, pop/rock/jazz has its own category for the first time.
The first edition of the music school competition took place on a small scale. Back then, around 20 pupils appeared before the jury to perform. Since then, the number of participants has increased tenfold. In the meantime, the Lucerne competition has developed into a major music festival. This year, the pop/rock/jazz style has its own category for the first time and participants can be accompanied by a professional jazz combo.
Whereas in the past only the most talented and best could take part in the competition, today it is open to all pupils of the Lucerne Music School. Beginners and advanced students perform and compete against each other in a protected and benevolent environment. The approximately 200 participants receive professional feedback and gain their first competition experience or even prepare for larger regional and national competitions.
The music school competition will take place on Sunday, January 28, at the Südpol. The auditions during the day, the final and the ranking ceremony are open to the public and admission is free. The audience will have the opportunity to award audience prizes in the pop/rock/jazz and classical/folk categories at the final. The program can be found on the Lucerne Music School website: www.musikschuleluzern.ch
