The music of these countries has always been an important part the Philharmonie’s programming, and the heart-warming autumn festival «atlântico» pays homage to this legacy. Over a full week of concerts and events catering to all age groups, we open our doors to numerous artists from across the Portuguese-speaking world, and symbolically also to a significant portion of Luxembourg’s population.

A gripping drama and a love triangle

set in the stormy waters of the Atlantic, Os Faroleiros is a masterpiece of Portuguese silent cinema ─ with a crazy story! The reel was indeed rediscovered in the early 1990s, and is now being presented in a restored version, with a score by Daniel Moreira performed by the Arditti Quartet. But no need to dig out your oilskins, the Grand Auditorium will remain dry despite the raging elements and unbridled passions!
