Music is a universal language.

It can break down barriers of all kinds. In a time of increasing inequality with regard to access to culture, the Fondation EME seeks to build a world in which all can live in dignity, with self-confidence and trust in others.

The Fondation EME is committed to inclusion.

Founded in 2009,

Their programmes are at the interface of social action, music and culture, seeking to engage audience who are not typically part of Luxembourg's culture scene. They arrange concerts in care institutions, curate music workshops for people with special needs and offer concert tickets to refugees, among many others. To find out more about their scope and mission, visit their website.

This is what inclusion looks like

  • A group of people gathered around a pot on stage, smiling and interacting, with whimsical blue decorations and stage lights in the background.
  • A group of students stand in a classroom, holding hands in a semi-circle, appearing engaged in an activity together.
  • Seven people, including one person in a wheelchair, stand or kneel together on a dark stage, illuminated by a spotlight, for the project Esch Side Story
  • A group of women in casual workout clothes participate in a dance class, standing in a line and laughing
  • Participants to a museum visit with the EME Fondation
  • A family at an EME concert
  • Two elderly women are sitting side by side in chairs. One is laughing and pointing, while the other looks on. They appear to be enjoying a lighthearted moment together indoors.
  • An EME concert in the Salle de Musique de Chambre
  • Cheerful audience at an EME concert
  • A musician teaching how to use a violin

When's the Fondation EME's next event?

« Be it a recital for the elderly, a workshop with refugees or a special needs opera: every project makes you feel the power of music and shows you how it can bring people together. » - Sarah Bergdoll, General Coordinator of the Fondation EME
