I am pleased to share that on March 11th, 2026, Danielle Roster will give a conference at the Lëtzebuerg City Museum on the topic: Female Musicians and Composers at the School of Music of Luxembourg during the Third Reich
The conference will be held in Luxembourgish.
Among the works performed during the event, I am delighted to mention that I created the arrangements for three pieces composed by Lou Koster.

Ten commissions were awarded in the context of the public call for commissions of musical works intended for orchestras or musical ensembles for the 2025/2026 season, while two commissions were awarded on the occasion of the accession to the throne of HRH Grand Duke Guillaume.
The call for musical commissions for ten orchestras or ensembles for the 2025/2026 season generated considerable interest within the musical community, with 25 applications submitted for 10 available commissions. The total budget allocated to these commissions was €56,500.
The compositions were awarded as follows:
I’m incredibly proud to be part of an initiative that marks another important step toward the full integration of female composers into the classical music world.
From February 18th to 21st, the complete Diabelli Variations will be performed — both the original male‑composed variations and the new female‑composed variations premiered in 2023.
There is no hierarchy, no separation, no distinction. We stand together simply as composers, equally represented and equally heard.
The festival promises to be exceptional, and I warmly encourage you to book your tickets at www.topklassik.ch.
You can find the flyer at this link, and the full program is also available here.

My variation will be performed on Friday, February 20th, 2026, during the 19:00 session.
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).
