On Saturday 4 July 2026 the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra will hold its magnificent end-of-the-season outdoor summer concert on the Kinnekswiss, starting at 9pm. 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. 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. Watch the weather forecast. And remember that even if it is warm at the beginning of the evening, it can get chillier later, especially if there is a breeze.

Remember that at the end of the evening you must take everything away with you, we have to leave the space clean and tidy.

So that we know roughly how many people are coming, we would like you to register. The event is open to friends and family members, and we are also inviting our Dark Blue colleagues from “The Other Place” to join us.
