Did you know that you could spend your lunchtime listening to music inside the impressive Grand Auditorium of the Philarmonie in Luxembourg-City?
Once a month, the concert hall welcomes members to the public for a free lunch concert where all sorts of musicians, from bands, solo performers to orchestras, showcase their skills in an attempt to make classical music (and not only) more accessible to large audiences. Moreover, Slow Food Luxembourg provides lunch options in Philarmonie’s lobby for those who also want to grab a bite before or post-concert.
Having attended quite a few of such events in the past, I highly recommend taking part in Philarmonie’s lunch concerts and discovering some of the greatest pieces of classical music, performed by renown artists.
In order to plan ahead your lunchtime visits, check out Philarmonie’s website here. Do keep in mind that in order to enter the building, all visitors aged twelve years old and two months and up must show proof of eligibility to attend via CovidCheck. More on its Covid-19 rules and policies here.
