International Music Festival
Classic (May-June) & Jazz (September) The International Festival of Classical Music takes place from mid May to beginning July. In Echternach, musical events can be retraced back to the origins of the city itself. From the 8th century to the French Revolution, Benedictine monks practised choir singing. For more than 500 years, on Tuesday after Pentecost, the Dancing Procession in honour of St. Willibrord has been a unique religious and cultural event filling the little town with enchanting rhythms. Thus, it is not surprising that the project by some idealists, among which Cyprien Katsaris, an internationally renowned pianist, originated here and immediately found many friends, donators and sponsors. Highlights 2011 • 28.03: Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. Dir. Vasily Petrenko. Hélène Grimaud piano/Klavier (Mozart, Tchaïkovski) Cultural packages, please look at www.visitluxembourg.lu |
