• create custom-built concerts adapted to the needs of the various groups.
Projects
Some examples of projects carried out and to come:
• BLUE: a multi-sensorial and interactive show, specially designed for people with severe and multiple disabilities or those living with autism. Created by the English theatre company Oily Cart, BLUE was performed at the Philharmonie by artists from Luxembourg in June and September 2009 and March 2010.
• numerous concerts in the palliative care units of hospitals throughout the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and in care homes.
