enCHanting LUCERNE
Eurovox 2026
A congress for voice experts
Keynotes
20–22 August 2026
Commitment
The title of our congress, ENCHANTING LUCERNE, refers to the magical effect of the singing voice! However, the art of singing and teaching singing does not involve actual magic, but is something that can be learned, and so in our unique congress we will examine the techniques involved in learning this craft, exploring the resources that are available to us as voice professionals.
The congress is being planned according to clear thematic structures. Instead of masterclasses and a “supermarket” of workshops, there will be efficient teams with explicit objectives in the spirit of the African proverb “on your own you are fast, but together you go further.”
We will celebrate this international congress in August 2026, as a meeting place for discovering a multicultural, colourful, diverse and fascinating vocal Switzerland – multi-layered, with reflection and insight and magic!
