The secret about the columns
Can you see them shaking? (photo: Gediminas Karbauskis)
Last week we shared the video we made to announce our Christmas break. (Ticket office closed from Tuesday 24.12. at noon, people!) You could see our ceiling lamps swinging, waves in our coffee cups. The reason? Our columns are cold and shiver outside in the harsh winter wind. More
(Christmas)Time well wasted
Guaranteed without Fa La La’s
Are you on holiday soon? We’ll soon be too! Which means that the box office will soon be closed and we made a little video to warn you. We shot it a few weeks ago and we saw quite a few faces glued to the windows of the Schuman building! Really, what’s so special about two columns shivering in the cold? More
Gift list for the team
By this time we hope you are aware that Christmas is just around the corner. We’ll be holding an informal party tomorrow with Glühwein, savoury and sweet treats and we may even swap little gifts. If we were to give each other concert tickets, this is what the list would look like. More
Interview avec David Sattler
(photo: Eric Chenal)
David Sattler, bassoniste au sein de l’Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg, a plutôt l’habitude de jouer un rôle harmonique. Pourtant, le dimanche 12 janvier, il sera bien exposé: il sera soliste lors du deuxième concert de la série “Matinées”. Apprentissage, rôle de l’instrument, répertoire: il nous parle du basson avec beaucoup de passion. More

Kinder gehen auf Kinderkonzerte. Und Erwachsene… auf Erwachsenenkonzerte? Selbstverständlich sind Kinder und Erwachsene nicht dasselbe Publikum. Dass die Konzerte selbstverständlich unterschiedlich sein müssen, widerlegen die Herren vom Sonus Brass Ensemble.
Tchaikovsky’s dressing room

The fog refuses to lift over Luxembourg, making every day looks the same. It seems that it invades our brains, mellowing them. We have a confession to make. We screwed up. More
The next rising star

Wouldn’t it be a dream to be able to go back in time and attend concerts by then buddings talents like Evgeny Kissin, Anne-Sophie Mutter or Joshua Redman? Fortunately we now have the “Rising stars” series that shows us where to look to find tomorrow’s greatest musicians. More

From Hollerich to the GA stage? (image: Pit Dahm, YouTube)
You know what they say about boredom and kids: it’s good for them to be bored, it nurtures their creativity, it gives them time to engage with the world and explore their passions. Of course, today being Saint Nicholas Day, many children in the area got lots of candies and toys and their parents won’t hear “I’m bored” for a few days. But let’s be honest: adults get bored too. Sometimes even when they do something they like, like going to a concert or an opera. The ugly truth is out and we don’t have to be ashamed anymore. More
He’s arrived!
Our composer in residence is finally there after a few stops in his favourite cities. We’ve picked him up at the airport and caught his arrival at the Philharmonie on tape. More
