Has everything already been composed? After all these centuries, are there still any musical territories left to be explored? With poise, passion and an undeniable touch of humour, the Luxemburgish composer Catherine Kontz answers even our most irreverent questions and tells us all about breaking new ground in today’s music world. To put theory into practice, she then walks us through the main highlights of her first rainy days festival as its curator, which took place at the Philharmonie from 16 to 19.11.2023. Multimedia operas, immersive installations, Scottish pipes, archives from the Luxembourg Philharmonic and DIY memory games: no doubt these four days gave us something to remember!
