Eran Har Even is an Edison nominated Israeli guitarist, composer and a faculty member of the Conservatory of Amsterdam. On his new album ‘World Citizen’ Eran presents a contemporary vision of jazz music which is crossing sonic borders and fusing cultures. ‘World Citizen’ is a result of many years of being far away from home. Seeing the world as one big source of inspiration resulted in a path of self-discovery. He has become a world citizen with views far from patriotism and nationalism; learning to be open to different opinions and cultural heritage and treasure the uniqueness of every person he encounters. This multicultural way of experiencing life makes Eran’s playing and composing unique. Different musical styles are fused into one own sound, making this an album for like-minded globetrotters.

I Am Not Legend looks at the question of identity and our relationships with otherness and death, through a contemporary reinterpretation of one of the masterpieces of cinema, George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead (1968). In his animated version of the film, Mastrovito has removed all the zombies and changed the scenario so that all characters talk exclusively in quotes from the most famous films, books and songs of our era. Through the animation of more than 100,000 images in which digital printing merges with painting and erasure, his work offers a poetic reading of our times.

If you’ve been following our weather report, then you will have noticed that summer is back. The summer heat won’t last forever, so this weekend a group of cycling friends ask you to join on a 60km ride from Ettelbruck - Echternach - Wasserbillig. It’s mostly downhill and fully on bike paths. No reservation required, just bring your bike and yourself (and helmet, water, food, sunscreen) and remember to maintain distance to other participants. This should be a fun one, pretend like you’re riding the Tour de Luxembourg!
