Lucilin: Now! – A Ritual for Lucilin

As part of the third edition of its Lucilin: Now! series, United Instruments of Lucilin continues to invest in the various spaces of the Philharmonie Luxembourg, showcasing the many facets of contemporary music. The concert on June 24 marks the last of three encounters in the new season.

United Instruments of Lucilin has invited the British soprano Juliet Fraser to dream up a project for the ensemble. She will create a full-evening performance for and with the ensemble – combining her extensive experience as a performer of ancient and contemporary music with her specific interest in blurring and disrupting the hard lines between traditions. The result is hard to predict, but all are invited to share in the ritual. The program includes, among others, two new pieces by Patricia Bosshard and Erin Gee.
