Luxembourg

The Luxembourg Philharmonic was founded in 1933 as a radio orchestra and has been based since 2005 in the Philharmonie Luxembourg, the concert hall that opened that year. Laurent Menager (1835-1902), regarded as the country's national composer, wrote choral, orchestral and stage works and founded the choral association Sang a Klang in 1857. The Luxembourg Conservatory of Music provides training in music and the performing arts. The Wiltz festival presents opera.
