Opening Concert Lunalia 2024
Musica Gloria
Te Deum
Online ticket sales closed. There will be an extra few tickets available at the venue.
Lunalia 2024 will begin with Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s Te Deum, a composition that is unfortunately often reduced to the theme music of the Eurovision Song Contest. The Belgian ensemble Musica Gloria will reveal the piece in all its glory. The ensemble will combine this brilliant showpiece with music by the Swedish composer Gustav Düben and the Czech master Pavel Vejvanovsky, among others, uniting many musical European hearts in a magnificent opening concert.
