Multiple Sclerosis Day

MS without borders: Let's sing gospel together!

Singing is beneficial to health: it promotes deep breathing, stabilises the heartbeat and boosts the immune system. It also helps to improve your mood and reduces stress. So there's a lot to look forward to for those who are taking part in the cross-border project organised by "Multiple sclérose Lëtzebuerg" (MSL), "Deutsche Multiple Sklerose Gesellschaft" (DMSG), and the "Fondation EME": "SEP-sans frontières: Chanter le gospel ensemble".

Entry is free!

"Inclusion" Gala

Art and culture without barriers

At the 6th "Inclusion" Gala, art and culture will come together once again for a truly open event. Hosted at the Luxembourg City Conservatoire, the event will feature a rich programme of music, dance, theatre and poetry by outstanding performers.

Entry is free. Advance booking recommended (places are limited).

With a special appearance by:

Noémie Desquiotz-Sunnen (soprano) and Magali Weber (mezzo-soprano) are often invited to perform as soloists at concerts with choirs and orchestras. They have also performed in many opera productions, such as Mozart's "The Magic Flute".As a duet, their performances are outstanding, and they possess a vast repertoire of chamber music.
More generally, their repertoire ranges from baroque and classical music to 19th romantic music and 20th and 21st-century contemporary music, including lieder, oratorio and opera.

Although she has been battling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's disease) for a number of years, Noémie Desquiotz-Sunnen has no intention of giving up singing and, despite her disability, continues to live a life full of music with the help of her family, friends and the musical world. With her friend, Magali Weber, she regularly performs at charity concerts to support people with rare diseases. In 2021, in recognition of her outstanding achievements, the European Organisation for Rare Diseases (EURORDIS) awarded her the prestigious "Black Pearl Award" in the "Visual and Audio Media" category.
At the gala, Noémie Desquiotz-Sunnen's and Magali Weber's magnificent voices – accompanied by pianist Isabelle Trüb – will sweep you off your feet!
