Piano festival «Le piano symphonique»

Concert Hall
Congress Centre
The Lucerne Symphony Orchestra is organizing the international piano festival  "Le piano symphonique" from 12 to 18 January 2026.
Solo recitals, chamber music, world premieres and master classes with Hélène Grimaud, Martha Argerich, Beatrice Rana, Alexandre Kantorow and many other world stars await you at the KKL Lucerne.

Fascination of the keys
From 2024, the legendary pianist Martha Argerich will be the Piano Festival's new "Pianiste Associée". This will open up completely new perspectives for the piano festival "Le Piano Symphonique".

Martha Argerich will be performing in a duo as well as in a piano trio and in a "Carte Blanche". And she will do so in an illustrious circle of great pianists - including Maria João Pires, Elisabeth Leonskaja and Jean-Yves Thibaudet. A selection of leading pianists of the next generation such as David Fray, Benjamin Grosvenor, Oliver Schnyder and Kit Armstrong will enchant Lucerne as pianists.

January 12 to 18, 2026
