Musikalesch Aventuren (LU, 4–8 Joer) Things are about to get turbulent! But what did you expect of a series which even has adventure in its title? In fantastical stories with lots of music and in Luxembourgish, the spirit of discovery is satisfied and awakened in the young audience, for example in a new reading of a literary classic such as the story of Cipollino, the little onion. Or this: haven’t you always wondered whether there might be a sea monster waiting to be discovered in our own region? Perhaps in the reservoir?

Why is the name of my seat different from last season?

Don't worry, the name may be different, but the seat remains the same! From September 2025 onwards, we will be using new signage for the Grand Auditorium, to make it easier for the audience to find their way around. That's why you might think the seat of your subscription has changed. You will find the updated map of the Grand Auditorium on this page.

That is the question! When you make your purchase, you can choose how you want your tickets sent: by e-mail («Print at home & Wallet» option), or by post (3 € postage charge). The advantage of sending them by email, as well as being cheaper, is that you can access them very easily, with no risk of losing them: your tickets are available in your «My Philharmonie» account, and you can download them to your phone or add them to your Wallet application. Handy for finding them easily on a concert night!

This can happen. As a subscriber, you are entitled to one refund in the form of a purchase voucher for 1 concert within a subscription, if you let us know at least 48 hours in advance.
