Uni.lu Choir – under the baton of Thomas Gareau – has three concerts up-coming:

Thursday 5 December 20:00 Protestant Church, Luxembourg City
Saturday 7 December 15:00 Limpertsberg Church
Sunday 8 December 17:00 Bertrange Church

Inspired by The Luxembourgish Language(s) exhibition by the Zenter fir d’Lëtzebuerger Sprooch, we will feature music in lesser to more represented household languages in this country.

This will include works in Luxembourgish, Portuguese (from Lopes-Graça), Poulenc’s “Un soir de neige” (a pinnacle of French a cappella), the Moravian folk Christmas song Byla Cesta in Czech, and much more.

The concerts are free of charge thanks to our sponsorship by the University’s Espace Cultures, but you will be invited to make a charity donation.

So why not take a break from shopping or the Christmas market for an hour of music with us? We hope to see you there!

We have added an extra concert to our programme:
Summer Highlights – selections from our recent projects

Most of the concert will feature moments from Der Geiger von Echternach by Lou Koster, supplemented with pieces from three of our performances: Ënner bloem Himmel by J-P Kemmer; Bach in the Subways; and the Concert de Religions du Monde. For more information, see the attached programme

Entrance is free but we will accept donations, 75% of which will go to the charity Coopération Humanitaire Luxembourg (chlux.lu). So come and hear us:

Remixed – Reimagined

Concerts in Luxembourg City, Esch & Bertrange

The art of choral arranging allows us to view existing works, songs and poems, with a new lens – and this tradition spreads to music from every background. In these concerts, the University of Luxembourg Choir will celebrate the choral arranging of art, folk, pop, and theatre music in a grand celebration of choral culture.
