Lucilin in the City #12 – SOUNDS IN SPACE

Anyone who has ever immersed themselves in listening to their favorite music understands instinctively the ability of music to transcend the limits of physical space. In “Sounds In Space,” saxophonist Olivier Sliepen and percussionist Guy Frisch immerse the audience in mysterious soundscapes, amidst clouds and perpetually transforming mists. They invite the public to embark on a journey through imaginary worlds evoked by the pieces of the program they have envisioned, juggling between abstraction and poetics, strength and fragility, the inherent physical properties of sound itself, and its transcendent capacities. The program also features a special commission to the composer Albena Petrovic-Vratchanska, adding a unique dimension to this multidimensional experience.   Reserve your seat: Free entry – limited number of seats Reservation at reservation@lucilin.lu   Programme :
