The Chamber Orchestra of Europe (COE) was founded in 1981 by a group of young musicians who became acquainted as part of the European Community Youth Orchestra (now EUYO). There are now about 60 members of the COE (including a dozen founding members), who pursue parallel careers as principals or section leaders of nationally-based orchestras, as eminent chamber musicians, and as tutors of music.

The 2023/2024 season of the Luzerner Sinfonieorchester with its principal conductor Michael Sanderling is characterised by the great, late Romantic repertoire, top-class soloists and a programmatically ideal melange of a sense of tradition and a spirit of discovery.
