For 25 years, the 21st Century Orchestra has been dedicated to the whole range of film music and has made a name for itself not only as an integral part of the KKL Lucerne, but also from New York, London and Paris to Dubai. Since its foundation in 1999, more than a hundred musicians have been committed to the idea of bringing film music to the concert hall. From early silent films to contemporary cinema is the credo and passion of the 21st Century Orchestra since the beginning under the direction of the conductor Ludwig Wicki.

The professionalism and versatility of the orchestra inspire the most sought-after film music composers and industry experts: Oscar winners such as Michael Giacchino (“Star Trek”, “Ratatouille”), Ludovic Bource (“The Artist”) or Howard Shore (“The Lord of the Rings”) repeatedly work closely with the Lucerne ensemble. Not to be missed is Howard Shore’s breathtaking “The Lord of the Rings Symphony.” In this anniversary season, the 21st Century Orchestra will bring the work back to the stage of the KKL for the first time in over 10 years. “I thank Ludwig Wicki for his masterful approach to bringing this score to life!” says Howard Shore.

A solemnly-gripping anniversary concert that will transform Lucerne’s large concert hall into a symphonic setting of Middle-earth and will not only captivate film fans.
