Over the next few days, music will once again be celebrated in four different towns on the territory of the Minett UNESCO Bisophere. Four municipalities from the south of Luxembourg will take part in the Fête de la Musique 2023: Differdange, Dudelange, Käerjeng and Kayl-Tétange.
30th Fête de la Musique in Dudelange
Dudelange is the town in the country that has participated in the Fête de la Musique for the longest time. The concept of a free concert on the evening of the summer solstice originated in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The first official edition of a Fête de la Musique was organised in France on 21 June 1982.
In the 1990s, the idea was also taken up in Dudelange, which is now also the biggest Fête de la Musique in Luxembourg every year. This year, the event begins with a prelude organised by the Amis de l’orgue in the Dudelange church. On Friday 16 June, there will be an organ concert at 8pm with young music students from the Conservatoire du Nord.
On Saturday 17 June, the entire city centre of Dudelange will be flooded with music. On no less than 12 stages, more than 50 national and international musicians, bands and DJs will bring Dudelange to life.
It would go too far to list the entire programme. Here are just a few examples of the artists who will be making the atmosphere in Dudelange vibrant:
Differdange invites you on Friday
On Friday evening, Differdange offers two concerts as part of the Fête de la Musique. Meeting point is the Aalt Stadhaus starting at 7:30 pm.
3 days of music in Käerjeng
The municipality of Käerjeng is also on the map of this year’s Fête de la Musique. The Harmonie Municipale of Bascharage invites music schools, bands, brass bands and orchestras to perform over three evenings. The musical festival will take place from 16 to 18 June in Claus Cito Square.
Kayl rocks on the actual day
The actual day of the Fête de la Musique is 21 June. On this very evening, the municipality of Käl-Téiteng invites you to Brill Square to experience no less than four neo-blues and punk concerts.
