Philharmonie Luxembourg

"Also known as the Grand Duchess Joséphine-Charlotte Concert Hall, it was opened in 2005. In 1995, Luxembourg was named European Capital of Culture and that year, Parliament took the decision to build a concert hall. In 1997, Christian de Portzamparc's project was selected at the end of the international architectural competition launched by the Public Buildings Administration. Construction work on the new concert hall was carried out between spring 2002 and summer 2005. 823 white steel facade columns line the Luxembourg Philharmonic. Designed using the “shoebox” concept, the Grand Auditorium has a capacity for 1,500 listeners."

"If you're interested in culture and the arts, visit the Philharmonie Luxembourg. Even if you don't catch a performance, the modern architecture of the building is worth seeing."
