On Saturday 4 July, 2026 the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra will hold its magnificent end-of-the-season outdoor Summerconcert on the Kinnekswiss, starting at 21h00. Martin Rajna, the new conductor of the orchestra will take the baton for the first time, in a concert entitled “Bella Notte: Puccini and Verdi”.Last year the Society occupied a patch on the grass of the Kinnekswiss for the members of the Society and their friends and families, and it was such a fun evening that we are doing the same thing this year. So come along, with your picnic blankets and cushions, low-folding chairs, and your picnic, whatever you fancy.

What should I bring?
Your picnic and drinks. Bring what you want for yourselves, it’s also nice to have some things that you can share with the other participants, as we do at the Boat Races events, it makes the event more convivial. So perhaps some salady things, or a cake? All sorts of drinks are allowed, alcoholic and soft. And don’t forget your (picnic) cutlery, plates, and “glasses”;Something to sit on, i.e. picnic rugs/blankets, cushions, low folding chairs (but not high-backed deckchairs, they tend to annoy the neighbours behind!)suitable clothing for the weather conditions.
Remember that at the end of the evening you must take everything away with you, we have to leave the space clean and tidy.

Where will we be?
We will be where we were last year, on the right-hand side of the Kinnekswiss looking towards the stage, where the ground slopes upwards.
We will aim to have some identifying items so that you can find us easily.

We recommend that you come along from 20h00 onwards so that we occupy the space well in advance of the concert which begins at 21h.

This is a great event in the Luxembourg summer calendar, and it is very popular. There will be a good crowd, of that we can be assured. We hope to see lots of you there, enjoying the outstanding entertainment.
