  Lëtzebuerg City Museum SING ALONG!, with Tanja Duprez and Nadja Prange

  19H30, 21H00 & 22H30

  As part of the Museum Night, visitors will have the opportunity to cross the line and switch from whispering to singing at the Lëtzebuerg City Museum. Accompanied by piano, the audience will sing in a warm atmosphere the best songs from a wide repertoire.

  The musicians Tanja Duprez (vocals) and Nadja Prange (piano/vocals) have been performing on stage together for over a decade, whether as part of the cover band the Noisemakers or as part of the music group Nea Lone (organ pop). Enough time, therefore, to harmonise perfectly with each other and create an atmosphere in which both the musicians and the audience feel at ease right from the start.

  L AM - Lëtzebuerger Architektur Musée presents the architecture collective "Krater Fajan"

  Ongoing

  ‘The group dynamic is an inscrutable, unfathomable thing. Many minds, many pipe dreams, many fantasies, many differences. This brings advantages, but also prevents us from harmonising everything. You can see this as a difficulty, but you can also use it to avoid being lumped together. In any case, one thing is certain: although we are an organisation with a changing agenda, we have made it our mission to tackle things together, to work things out, to sound them out and to unbalance them again. Krater Fajan, the art and architecture collective, was founded in 2013, and we tilt until it tingles and explore crater boundaries until the meteorite hits us. To do this, we have to dream with you, discuss, break apart and put ourselves back together again.’
