KLACKESPILL & MOART concerts
Since May 2023 the new concert series has run on Echternachter's carillon.
KLACKESPILL & MOART concerts are held throughout the year, every second Wednesday of the month at 11:05-12:00. They accompany the monthly market. The concerts are programmed (programs are printed, emailed to a mailing list and posted on social media).The idea is that they are public-friendly concerts.
The objective is to involve the local community in the concerts - anyone can choose/suggest a song to be performed. The purpose of organizing these concerts is to promote the carillon as an instrument that accompanies the life of the local community.
The concerts are held as a result of cooperation between the Echternach Basilica and the Stadt Marketing. The concert performer is Luxembourg-based carillonist Anna Kasprzycka. Guest concerts are also planned. These concerts were highlighted in the News Flash on television.
