My Lucerne is the third installment of a seven-part album series curated by iconic violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter to commemorate her 50th stage anniversary and five decades of recording. Releasing across 2026 and 2027, the global project traces her journey through musical capitals, including Berlin, Lucerne, Salzburg, Vienna, Tokyo, and New York. Each release features newly assembled programs designed to evoke intimate concert experiences, reflecting her formative encounters, performances, and recordings in each city. Ultimately, the series highlights Mutter’s enduring curiosity, artistic commitment, and creative vision for the future of classical music through a deeply personal musical tour.

Anne-Sophie Mutter (born 29 June 1963) is one of the most distinguished violinists of her generation. Born in Rheinfelden, Germany, she began studying violin at five and rose to prominence after her 1977 debut with the Berlin Philharmonic under Herbert von Karajan. Since the early 1980s, she has performed worldwide and recorded more than 50 albums, primarily for Deutsche Grammophon, earning multiple Grammy and major international awards. Renowned for championing contemporary music, she has premiered works written especially for her by leading composers. Mutter is also dedicated to philanthropy, founding organizations that support young string players and serving as president of German Cancer Aid (2021–2025).
