Party at Luxembourg House
This week I performed at a party at Luxembourg House in New York, to kick off a conference about education in Luxembourg. Until 2003 — when the Grand-Duchy’s first and only university was founded — Luxembourgers wanting to go to college would have to study abroad. This conference brought together educators and business people.
I was invited by Michel Franck, who is not only the President of the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce, but also the architect who supervised the renovation of the Luxembourg House after its previous owner, Irving Berlin passed away.
In my show I celebrated music from Luxembourg by playing some songs from the Eurovision Song Contest. Luxembourgers in attendance got a bit nostalgic when hearing the 1965 winner France Gall sing “Poupée de cire, poupée de son“…
