Music

The cultural life of Luxembourg is significantly influenced by its music. While opera is commonly performed in theaters, symphonic performances may be found in the acclaimed new Philharmonie concert hall. Along with jazz, rock, and pop, there are many popular artists in these genres. The Union Grand-Duc Adolphe, the country's national music federation for choral organizations, brass bands, music schools, theatrical companies, folklore organizations, and instrumental ensembles, is a good indicator of the broad popular interest in music and musical activities in Luxembourg. The organization presently represents approximately 17,000 individual members in 340 music groups and organizations.

The musical and cultural legacy of Luxembourg is Germanic. Union Grand-Duc Adolphe (UGDA) is the country's music union. The Luxembourg Conservatory of Music, which enrolls over 2,600 students a year, is another significant institution. The Echternach Music Festival and the Rock um Knuedler in Luxembourg City are two annual music events. Europe-wide listeners tune in to Radio Luxembourg, the national radio station. With the popularity of folk, classical, popular music (pop, rock, hip hop), and electronic dance music, modern Luxembourg is now home to a variety of performers (hardstyle, jumpstyle, hardstyle).
