Villa VaubanA musical stroll with Annemie Osborne19H10–19H30 | 20H10–20H30 | 21H10–21H30 | 22H10–22H30
Cellist Annemie Osborne received her musical training at the Conservatoire de Musique de la Ville de Luxembourg, the University of Leeds and the Koninklijke Conservatorium in Brussels. While her musical roots lie in the Western classical music tradition, Annemie has always sought openness to other musical worlds, in particular jazz, traditional music and improvisation. For the Museum Night 2021, Annemie will present a programme consisting of excerpts from the solo repertoire for classical cello, traditional songs and melodies and improvisation.

Villa VaubanCoup de cœur, with Annaroslily18H30
Anna is a colourful content creator. She was born in Luxembourg and teaches primary classes. Anna got her taste for fantasy and extravagance from her mother. What she likes most of all is to combine different materials, but also to use and abuse colorbocking! Every morning Anna chooses her outfit according to her mood and admits that sometimes she is not dressed at all according to the weather. People sometimes ask her why she chooses to dress so eccentrically and her answer is simple: 'First of all, I love the fashion world and then the world would be so boring if everyone dressed the same.'

Villa VaubanGuided tours in the framework of the exhibition "Pour Élise". The Hack collection and visual arts in Paris during the Belle Époque20H00 (FR) | 21H00 (LU/DE) | 23H00 (EN)
“Pour Élise” is the unusual story of a young Luxembourg emigrant and modest servant who, towards the end of the 19th century, gains access to the Parisian art world. Sharing the life of the famous art historian and critic Henry Havard (1838-1921), Élise Hack, born in 1860 in Echternach, collected some thirty paintings, watercolours, drawings and engravings which she bequeathed to the City of Luxembourg in 1922. The exhibition places both Élise’s life and her collection in their historical and artistic contexts. By presenting additional paintings that had belonged to Henry Havard, it highlights the artistic effervescence in Paris at the time.
