RAINY DAYS FESTIVAL

Luxembourg CIty, Luxembourg

November 19 & 21, 7:30PM

November will be hot! At least where rainy days, the Philharmonie's festival of contemporary music, is concerned. Headlining another multi-faceted, open-minded programme, festival curator Catherine Kontz has chosen «Heat» as the theme of this year's programming, turning up the temperature in all the Philharmonie's spaces. As always, a deliberate game of associations is a given when curating a diverse programme for the entire family. New Music fans are just as much the target audience as people who have never encountered contemporary sounds: from the concrete heat of summer or the notion of a sauna to the tackling of «hot» topics, and of course anything that refers to energy or energies.

Yarn/Wire makes our third appearance at this illustrious festival with two programs, on Nov. 19 & 21, presenting the European premiere of George Lewis’ concerto …ohne festen Wohnsitz with the Luxembourg Philharmonic, as well as works by Annea Lockwood and Lisa Streich.
