Many things can be considered and regarded as extreme – and art has always been a playground and test tube for all kinds of exaggerations, a place to push boundaries. In the second edition of the festival, curated by the Luxembourg composer Catherine Kontz, a wide range of extremes will converge, forming new relationships. Modern classics from such composers as John Cage, Morton Feldman or even Erik Satie will stand alongside brand new works. How extreme will our experience be today to music that caused scandals decades ago? The full Luxembourg Philharmonic with soloists on the one hand, and the invisible interpreter in a new piano concerto without pianist by Liam Dougherty on the other, mark extremes just as much as do 17 electric guitars or a single harp. And the age and career spectrum of the participants also holds extremes with names such as those of the old masters of the Arditti Quartet stand next to the participants in the composition workshop for children.

What you'll hear and see

The music

  • Owen Spafford The House Dance (création, commande Philharmonie)

The artists

  • Owen Spafford concept, Shetland fiddle
  • NN danse
  • Jess Collins choreography

House dances, popular in the years before the move to dance-halls in Ireland,

were held in the central room of a cottage – the kitchen. Table, chairs, benches and other pieces of furniture were moved to the walls, leaving room for dancing in the middle. The tight confines of «the house dance» somehow fuels the music, song and dance, the kitchen becoming at once a home and also a stage.
