Plëss in Concert

Although the current pavilion in Place d'Armes has only existed since 1933, there has been a bandstand in the square since 1875, hosting performances by brass and woodwind ensembles, jazz and classical music acts, big bands and other ambient music. Thus, there is a long-standing tradition of events – and concerts in particular – in Place d'Armes. Whereas in the mid-19^th century, military concerts were regularly held in the square, today, concerts are performed by a much more varied cast of musicians, to the delight of audiences seated comfortably at the many terraces around the square, in the shade of large plane trees.
