The LSO launches a crowdfunding campaign
The Lucerne Symphony Orchestra has launched its first crowdfunding campaign. The money is being collected for the final financing stage of the planned new rehearsal house. Half a million francs are at stake.
The budget for the new building is around 10 million francs, a large part of which has already been financed by private donors and patrons - but half a million francs is still needed. The fundraising target of half a million francs would set a new Swiss record for crowdfunding in the cultural sector.
The construction of the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra's own rehearsal house is a key strategic objective of the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra Foundation. This goal is of great importance both artistically and logistically. The orchestra's home is to become a working and creative center with rehearsal facilities for the musicians and a child- and family-friendly environment for the education programs.
If at least the so-called funding threshold of 250,000 francs is reached by June 12, the musicians will redeem a wager: they will invite the supporters to a joint sausage dinner. All supporters who donate at least 50 francs will take part in the draw for the limited places.
