Le Salon de Helen Buchholtz

Le Salon de Helen Buchholtz 2024 builds on the success of its first edition in 2022 on the occasion of Esch2022 – European Capital of Culture.

From 6th November to 1st December 2024, the Bridderhaus in Esch-sur-Alzette will once again be the convivial and intimate setting – designed this year by Christian Mosar – for the meeting of lovers of the emotion of vocal recitals and the intimacy of chamber music.

With two guest composers, the public will have the opportunity to appreciate the diversity of their repertoire and the depth of their artistic expression. Their works will be showcased in several concerts during which listeners will have the opportunity to explore the unique musical worlds of Tatsiana Zelianko and Nigji Sanges, while providing a platform for the two composers to share their creative vision with a wide audience.

The program and every possible information can be found at https://www.bridderhaus.lu/

Looking forward to welcoming you there,

Sincerely,

Tatsiana

Brahms Plus

In the 1850s, Brahms was still questioning the form of the symphony and looking for a detour through the form of the serenade. The six-movement work was originally written for nine instruments; fortunately, this version could be reconstructed. Stravinsky’s Soldier’s Tale, from which the composer extracted three trio movements in 1919 for use in concert, is orchestrated in a much more sober manner. Just as Stravinsky’s music is inspired by the French poetry of Charles-Ferdinand Ramuz, composer Tatsiana Zelianko let herself be drawn to Envol by her own verses in French. In her poetry, she celebrates the transcendence of earthly heaviness and dreams of a state of serenity and lightness.

An der Schwemm

E Kappsprong an d’Lëtzebuergesch Musekgeschicht!

Operette

Plitsch, platsch! Mehr als hundert Jahre nach der einmaligen Aufführung des Musicals An der Schwemm (1922) der luxemburgischen Komponistin Lou Koster wird nun eine Adaption beim Festival de Wiltz aufgeführt. Der Schriftsteller und Journalist Batty Weber verfasste damals das Libretto in luxemburgischer Sprache. Inszeniert wird die Geschichte von Lory, einer selbstsicheren Schwimmerin, die im Schwimmbad den Avancen des Beamten Zengerlé widersteht und sich zugleich in den schönen Soldaten und Schwimmlehrer Reddy verliebt. Das Schwimmbad symbolisiert den Schmelztiegel des gesellschaftlichen Lebens der 1920er Jahre. Die Bühne gehört ganz und gar der Hauptfigur, die für ihre Freiheit wirbt.
