Watchers x Musiques & Recherches

November will be hot! At least where rainy days, the Philharmonie’s festival of contemporary music, is concerned. Headlining another multi-faceted, open-minded programme, festival curator Catherine Kontz has chosen «Heat» as the theme of this year’s programming, turning up the temperature in all the Philharmonie’s spaces. As always, a deliberate game of associations is a given when curating a diverse programme for the entire family. New Music fans are just as much the target audience as people who have never encountered contemporary sounds: from the concrete heat of summer or the notion of a sauna to the tackling of «hot» topics, and of course anything that refers to energy or energies… And the 2026 edition of rainy days is not confined to the pillared «safe space» of the concert hall, but seeks out dialogue with other institutions – this time, the Théâtre National and the Casino Luxembourg – Forum d’art contemporain, which is celebrating its 30th birthday.
