MusicDays Vianden 2024

31.10. – 04.11.2024

Castle, Ancien Cinéma, Trinitarian Church

5th edition

For the fifth time now, the MusicDays will take place in Vianden, allowing locals and visitors to experience and enjoy a wide variety of musical genres and styles in a wide variety of spaces. Within the venerable walls of the castle, the opening concert on the theme of “Halloween and Dracula” will undoubtedly be particularly effective, followed by a jazz evening by trumpeter Daniel Migliosi, born in Esch in 2004, and his quartet in the old cinema, a baroque music concert in the Trinitarian Church, an innovative music project by the collective The Aquatic Museum, whose members include Claire Parsons and Laurent Peckels, a Halloween spectacle for children conceived and staged by Jenny Spielmann and the final concert in the castle. Old and new, short and long, rushing forward and calming will balance each other out, and the selected works have something for almost all tastes and ages.

To commemorate the centenary of the death of the French composer Gabriel Fauré, members of the Kammerata Luxembourg will perform his first piano quartet as well as four gems from Fauré’s very extensive song oeuvre. The program also features the Romanian George Enescu, who became known both as an excellent violinist and as an enormously talented composer and who was Fauré’s composition student at the Paris Conservatoire. In the Pièce sur le nom de Fauré (1922), written while his revered teacher was still alive, Enescu transforms the letters of the name “Fauré” into a five-part sequence of specific pitches and builds the entire piece on this. Finally, French composer Sophie Lacaze, born in 1963, performs Broken words, which premiered in 2020 and is based on texts by Australian poet Henry Kendall, excerpts of which are repeatedly recited by the instrumentalists in the course of the composition.
