Community
Showcasing the brass bands, choirs, marching bands and ensembles from all over the country.
Classical music, jazz, pop, rock, experimental music… the Grand Duchy’s music scene is extremely rich and diverse. With the Heemspill programme, the Philharmonie Luxembourg aims to spotlight the many musicians active throughout the country, both amateurs and professionals. In a spirit of collaboration, discovery and promotion, it offers them a platform to reach a wider audience and helps them find their way. The aim is to bring people together and create unique moments around live music.
Heemspill is divided into three cycles to better reflect the different realities of Luxembourg’s music scene. Whether you are an established ensemble, a young talent or an experienced local musician, this stage is yours – a free space to dream, create and be inspired together.
On this page, you will find all the information and conditions for participation from the 2026/27 season onwards. You can apply by clicking on the button below, and we will contact you if your project has been selected.
