Luxembourg Philharmonic concerts

A story of faith and hope: a young woman is humiliated by others, but never loses her kind heart. Magical creatures ensure that the young woman experiences a sumptuous night at the ball, where she meets a prince. Their encounter is brief, but the prince goes in search of her and finally finds the woman he has been unable to forget since the ball. Not only because a ball is at the centre of attention, the obvious manner of recounting this story is with dancers, and Sergei Prokofiev wrote music for this ballet which will leave the audience tapping its toes – at the very least.

Outside, Carnival may have been unleashed, but at the Philharmonie, the devotional atmosphere of Passiontide, which begins the following week, gets a preview. On 08.02., William Christie, one of the high priests of his profession and Artist in residence this season, conducts Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s majestic Vesperae solennes de confessore. After-wards, Christie leads the Luxembourg Philharmonic in the rarely-heard oratorio version of Joseph Haydn’s Seven Last Words of Christ on the Cross, anticipating Holy Week, the high point of Passiontide.

To this day, Ludwig van Beethoven’s Piano Concertos are considered a special challenge for pianists, not only in terms of technique, but also interpretation. Rudolf Buchbinder accepts the challenge, not only by playing these works, but leading the Luxembourg Philharmonic from the keyboard at the same time – on two evenings dedicated exclusively to the five Piano Concertos. A fascinating journey into the history of the genre, which will also be the subject of a lecture by Stefan Keym in German at the Salle de Musique de Chambre on 22.02. at 18:45.

Whether magical or interstellar, fairy-tale or winter wonderland, surprises are guaranteed: the Luxembourg Philharmonic summons the full palette of colours of a large symphony orchestra to keep discovering new musical worlds– whether it’s the world premiere of the children’s opera Peter Pan, a symphonic voyage to the planets, the impressive live accompaniment of the animated film The Snowman or the music and dance performance Cinderella. After each concert, the «instrument carousel» invites the audience to try out the instruments of the orchestra.

Im Rahmen des Familljefestivals «Magie»

Surely her spiritual daughter Zara McFarlane can relate! In this special project, the talented British-Jamaican vocalist partners with the Luxembourgish trumpeter and composer Gast Waltzing to bring «The Divine One» back to life, on what would have been her 100th birthday. Expect elegance, audacity and emotion!

Les bénéfices de ce concert seront intégralement reversés à la Luxembourg Philharmonic Academy.
