Landscape with no Land on Nov 30th 2025, Concert-apéritif at the Philarmonie with d’Frënn fun de Lëztebuerger Philarmoniker

I am pleased to inform you that on Sunday November 30th, at the Philhamonie of Luxembourg, the friends of the Philharmonie will play my last piece Landscape with no land. This is a sextuor for piano and winds. Exceptionally I will be on stage playing piano in my own piece.

Concerts-apéritif

The “concerts-apéritif” are chamber music concerts that take place on Sundays at 11 a.m. in the magnificent chamber music hall of the Philharmonie. Their appellation gives us a hint both at the beginning of the performance and at the Aperitif that will be offered to the audience after the concerts. As the musicians also take part in this convivial event, the interested audience is given the opportunity to get into contact with the soloists and to exchange personal impressions. The programs as well as the casting of the concerts are proposed by the artists of the Luxembourg Philharmonic themselves while they are supposed to present a mixture of classical as well as innovative pieces (less known composers and pieces, or rarely found casts for instance).

Soundgardening – Concert 08.06.2025 - 15:00-17:30

Soundgardening – von Walzerköniginnen und Marschweibern – concert on June 8th 2025

The starting point of SOUNDGARDENING, an open-air concert with historical roots, is the music of Luxembourg’s first female composer: Josephine Schmoll (1836-1925). The 100th anniversary of her death is an occasion to honour this composer, who was well known beyond the borders of Luxembourg during her lifetime.

Schmoll engaged with both classical and popular and entertaining music, the latter allowed her to reach a wider audience. In the 20th century, two other female composers continued this tradition of working in two fields: Helen Buchholtz (1887-1953) and Lou Koster (1889-1973). Their light music was often played outdoors.

These three composers have something else in common: they often gave atmospheric titles to their music that expressed their personal relationship to landscapes, gardens, animals and plants. And they often chose the form of the waltz or the march to convey these musical atmospheres inspired by nature.SOUNDGARDENING builds a bridge to contemporary music: Inspired by Rosenmär, a text by Luxembourgish poet Nikolaus Welter, Tatsiana Zelianko has composed a new Nocturne, taking up a musical form that was often played in gardens at night in the 18th century (world premiere).

Communication of the Ministry of Culture

The Ministry of Culture has awarded seven musical composition commissions to Luxembourgish or resident composers.

As part of its policy to support musical creation, the Ministry of Culture issued a public call for commissions for musical works in 2024. This initiative generated considerable interest within the music community, with 23 applications submitted for seven available commissions. The total budget allocated to these commissions was €70,000. The compositions have been awarded to the following orchestras and ensembles:

Luca Vaillancourt for the Grand Ducal Military Band
Christophe Mirkes for the European Soloists Luxembourg
Ivan Boumans for United Instruments of Lucilin
Catherine Kontz for Kammerata Luxembourg
Markus Brönnimann for the Luxembourg Chamber Orchestra
Gilles Grethen for the Estro Armonico Orchestra
Tatsiana Zelianko for the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra (OPL)
In addition to this public call, an additional commission has been awarded to Tatsiana Zelianko for the creation of a composition in homage to the Luxembourg composer Joséphine Schmoll (1836-1925). This work for string quintet will be performed on July 8, 2025, at the LUGA Culture HUB.

The Ministry of Culture welcomes the enthusiasm and artistic diversity emerging from this initiative, thus confirming the importance of supporting musical creation in Luxembourg.

Diabelli Recomposed - Polish Edition

Diabelli Recomposed – Polish Edition – February 4th 2025 – 12:00 – Bytom

Diabelli Recomposed is played a second time in Poland, in Bytom.

17 female pianists interpret Diabelli recomposed.

Concert on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Fryderyk Chopin General Primary and Secondary Music School in Bytom: Diabelli Composed Project.

On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the establishment of the Fryderyk Chopin General Music School of the 1st and 2nd degree in Bytom, a concert will be held on February 4, 2025, which will remain in the memories of the participants for a long time. 50 short variations composed by women from 23 different countries will be presented in the school’s concert hall.

The project that became the basis for this event was realized by a graduate of the school, Claudia Bigos, a piano teacher in Braunschweig (Germany). The aforementioned 50 variations are part of a broad musical project that combines contemporary works of female composers with the musical tradition from two centuries ago.

In 1819, the Viennese publisher and composer Anton Diabelli approached a dozen or so leading composers of the era, including Beethoven, Czerny, Hummel, and Schubert, with a proposal to write one variation each on his Waltz in C major for a planned collective edition for piano. Beethoven was initially reluctant to accept the project, then, as usual, he delayed fulfilling his promise, but after a long time he offered Diabelli a gift as unexpected as it was magnificent: a grand cycle of 33 variations. The delighted designer published Beethoven’s work separately, of course, in 1823, as 33 Veränderungen über einen Walzer von Anton Diabelli, Op. 120.

During the concert on February 4th in the concert hall of the General Music School in Bytom, a competing project will be performed. 200 years later, in 2019, Claudia Bigos approached 50 female composers from around the world with the proposal to compose variations on Anton Diabelli’s Waltz.

The result of this project is a fascinating collection of 50 pieces in various styles and with varying degrees of difficulty, which are a testimony to the richness and diversity of contemporary women’s music. In Bytom, during a concert, all these pieces will be presented by students and teachers of the F. Chopin General Secondary School of Music.

This event is not only a musical experience, but also an expression of support for equality in music and the promotion of women’s creativity on concert stages. The organizers invite all those who believe in the value of women’s creativity and want to support the presence of music composed by women in concert repertoires.

During the concert, Claudia Bigos herself confirmed her presence and shared her experiences related to the implementation of this extraordinary project. This event will certainly be a unique artistic experience that will remain in the memory of Bytom residents and music lovers for a long time.

Luxembourgish female composers of the past and present in dialogue

December 1st 2024 – Round table and Träume recital at Helen Buchholtz – 14:45

The Helen Buchholtz Salon is the perfect place to meet female composers from past and current times. The hostess of the Salon, Helen Buchholtz (1877-1953) was one of the first women in Luxembourg to devote her life exclusively to musical creation.

During a round table, chaired by radio 100.7, Tatsiana Zelianko and Nigji Sanges will explore the challenges, opportunities and innovations that have marked the progress of women in the field of musical composition. Through a dynamic dialogue between past and present, this discussion will highlight the remarkable achievements of female composers from past and present times, while examining prospects for the future of musical composition.

The day will end with the new recital Träume, conceived and performed by German soprano Gerlinde Sämann and pianist Claude Weber, which will include compositions by Tatsiana Zelianko among other dreamlike works.
