7 things to do in and around Luxembourg this weekend

1. Hear piano and synths at Rotondes

What: Neo-classical/electronic/piano
Where: Rotondes, 3 Place des Rotondes, 2448 Luxemburg - Google Maps
When: Sunday, 7 August at 8pm - info & tickets

Moritz Fasbender has always been attracted to the obscure: sombre places, dark music and film noir. Her music bends the rules of contemporary classical music or neo-classical. Using the piano as her main instrument, she flirts with electronic sounds and synths in her performances, almost creating a new instrument or sound as a whole. She'll be performing this Sunday at Rotondes at 8pm.

2. Enjoy activities at Bartrenger Duerffest

What: Music, exhibitions, food and more
Where: Bertrange city centre - Google Maps

Locals and neighbours will flock to the Bartrenger Duerffest this weekend to check out the annual village festivities. The local fire department will showcase its machinery and trucks. There is a flash dance, concerts, a fire show, DJs and atelier workshops for children. Not to forget all the good food and drinks. A lovely activity even if Bertrange is not your home.

Over the course of nine days (of which this weekend are the last three), more than 100 participants fill the entire castle grounds with medieval life (we got rather excited and took lots of pictures) and ensure a varied programme: knights’ camps, fire and battle shows, jugglers, minstrels and bird-of-prey demonstrations will immerse young and old in a bygone era. In addition to knightly romance, medieval music and juggler fun, visitors can look forward to a wonderful medieval market with handicrafts, calligraphy and all kinds of delicacies.
