Musikzentrum Sedel, Concert hall and cultural center in Emmen, Switzerland.
Musikzentrum Sedel is a concert hall and cultural center in Emmen featuring 54 rehearsal rooms of varying sizes. Each space is equipped with professional sound systems to support musicians and performers in their practice and recording work.
The Sedelhof belonged to the Cistercian convent of Rathausen before the Canton of Lucerne bought it in 1838. It served as a cantonal penitentiary from 1884 to 1975, was rebuilt between 1932 and 1934, and then held government files until 1980. After the Kriegerhaus fire left Lucerne's music scene without space, the city took over the east wing on 19 January 1981 and handed it to the Interessengemeinschaft Luzerner Musiker on 15 April 1981; the west wing followed in 1983.
The center serves as a gathering place for musicians and artists from across the region. Regular concerts and events spanning multiple music genres help create a space where creative people come together and share their work.
The Sedel sits on a hill above the Rotsee in Rathausen, in the municipality of Ebikon, and has no public transport connection. A shuttle bus to Lucerne city centre that ran on event days, operated by the ILM, was discontinued at the end of 2024. Visitors arrive by car or on foot.
The Sedel lies on a hill above the Rotsee, on the ground of Rathausen in the municipality of Ebikon, not in Emmen. The club room holds 250 people, and several of the former prison cells are now rented out as studios.
