17 May 2026: Creative Sunday – Inclusive Music Making Workshop by Fondation EME
On Sunday, 17 May from 10:00 to 14:00, the Inclusive Music Making Workshop will take place, a musical experience open to all. The idea is simple: join a great choir for a day, with no need to read music and no long-term commitment required.
Hosted by vocal coach and choirfluencer Constantin Gold and accompanied by a number of musicians, this workshop offers a caring and inspiring setting where everyone can discover, or rediscover, the joys of singing together. At the end of the day, participants perform a famous song they've learned throughout the day.
21 May 2026: A 360° Concert – At the Heart of Music
On Thursday, 21 May, the Luxembourg Chamber Orchestra will be putting on two performances, offering audiences an immersive symphonic experience and a chance to connect with music in an entirely new way.
The event is designed as a "performative" concert, in which the musicians will be in motion, taking audiences on a novel sensory journey. Get ready to move to the rhythm of a synchronised heartbeat!
Viewed as a mirror of society, the orchestra will draw on some of the most beautiful pieces from its repertoire to tell a story: that of a civilisation in progress, and that of the encounter between individuals and their desire to build something together. From your spot right next to the action, you will find yourself immersed in a dreamlike universe where music plays a central role.
Times:
- 18:30–19:45
- 20:30–21:45
