Spotlight on solo instruments… and Luxembourg!

One could say these pieces are concertos in all but name! Leonard Bernstein wrote his Symphony N° 2 for solo piano and orchestra while the two creations by American composer Judd Greenstein and Luxembourgish composer Marco Pütz featured in this concert showcase lesser-known instruments, respectively the vibraphone and the euphonium. Both were composed especially for Luxembourgish artists, namely percussionist Pascal Schumacher in Watershed, and euphonium player Philippe Schwartz in Euphonia’s Voice. Accompanied by the Luxembourg Philharmonic, they will take you through every emotion!

The concert will be recorded by radio 100,7 and broadcast live.
