    1. KONSCHTHAL ESCH CONTEMPORARY ART SPACE Prior to opening in autumn 2021, while the premises are being transformed, the Konschthal Esch is presenting an exhibition cycle entitled Schaufenster (Window), showcasing a series of contemporary art installations. The Konschthal Esch will thus position itself as an essential institution for the development of the cultural network in Esch-sur-Alzette, while aiming to achieve a national and international dimension. The first exhibitions will illustrate these ambitions while laying the foundations for mediation programmes destined for an inter- generational public. Designed as a production and exhibition platform for contemporary visual arts, The Konschthal Esch will host both international contributions and local productions. It will become a place of sociocultural exchange in resonance with contemporary subjects and their repercussions in today’s art world. The Konschthal Esch will be an essential element in the cultural development strategy of Connexions. Its programme will be established in correlation with the Bridderhaus institution of artists’ residences and will form a part of the urban cultural fabric while prioritizing collaborations with other cultural institutions in Esch-sur-Alzette.

Maazel began his tenure as the Philharmonic’s new Music Director in September, and already has put his stamp of authority on the playing of the orchestra. Indeed he and the Philharmonic were rapturously received wherever they performed on a recent tour of the Far East. Celebrating the New Year with music is nothing new for Maazel: he holds the modern record for most appearances as conductor of the celebrated New Year’s Day concerts in Vienna by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. There, of course, the fare is made up mostly of music by the waltzing Johann Strauss family, father and sons. For his New Year’s Eve concert with the New York Philharmonic Maazel has chosen quintessentially American music by the composer considered by many to be America’s closest equivalent to the Strausses, George Gershwin.

    December 31, 2007, 8:00pm on PBS New York Philharmonic New Year’s Eve Gala with Joshua Bell In September Live From Lincoln Center observed one of its longtime traditions: the Gala opening concert of the new season of the New York Philharmonic. On December 31 we'll re-invent another longtime Live From Lincoln Center tradition: the Gala New Year's Eve concert by the New York Philharmonic. Music Director Lorin Maazel will be on the podium for a program of music appropriate for the festive occasion, and the guest artist will be the acclaimed violinist, Joshua Bell. I first encountered Joshua Bell at the Spoleto Festival, U.S.A. in Charleston, South Carolina. He was then barely into his teens but he was already a formidable violinist, playing chamber music with some of the world's most honored musicians. Not long afterward he burst upon the international scene at what was described as "a sensational debut" with the Philadelphia Orchestra and its Music Director of the time, Riccardo Muti. Joshua Bell was brought up in Bloomington, Indiana, where his father was a Professor at Indiana University. I.U., as it is known in academia, is an extraordinary university, with a School of Music that is world-renowned. Among its outstanding faculty was the eminent violinist Josef Gingold, who became Josh's inspired (and inspiring) mentor and devoted friend. Indeed it was the presence of Gingold in Indiana that led to the establishment of the Indianapolis International Violin Competition. One way for a young musician to attract attention is to win one of the major international competitions.

  • Current Migration Situation in the EU: Hate Crime November 2016
    HELPING TO MAKE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS A REALITY FOR EVERYONE IN THE EUROPEAN UNION Current migration situation in the EU: hate crime November 2016 Asylum seekers and migrants face various forms of violence and harassment across the European Union (EU). As this month’s report on the migration situation underscores, such acts are both perpetrated and condoned by state authorities, private individuals, as well as vigilante groups. They increasingly also target activists and politicians perceived as ‘pro-refugee’. Meanwhile, a lack of relevant data is hampering efforts to develop effective measures to prevent these incidents. Outlining recent attacks in 14 EU Member States, this focus of the November report also examines the diverse factors that undermine the reporting of such incidents and highlights promising practices seeking to counter them. Contents Thematic focus: hate crime....................................................................................................2 Main findings ..........................................................................................................................2 Scarce recording of incidents targeting asylum seekers and migrants................................... 3 Incitement to hatred.......................................................................................................................... 7 Question of perpetrators................................................................................................................... 7 Factors behind the low reporting of incidents

  • Lorin Maazel, Conductor
    LORIN MAAZEL, CONDUCTOR For over five decades, Lorin Maazel has been one of the worlds most esteemed and sought-after conductors. In spring 2011, he completed his fifth and final season as the inaugural Music Director of the spectacular, Santiago Calatrava-designed opera house in Valencia, Spain, the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia. Music Director of the New York Philharmonic from 2002 to 2009, he assumes the same post with the Munich Philharmonic at the start of the 2012/13 season. He is also the founder and Artistic Director of a new festival based on his farm property in Virginia, the Castleton Festival, launched to exceptional acclaim in 2009 and expanding its activities nationally and internationally in 2011/12 and beyond. Maestro Maazels 2010/11 season was highlighted by productions of Aïda and his own opera 1984 at the Palau de les Arts; two concerts with the newly formed resident orchestra of Chinas National Center for the Performing Arts in Beijing; a NewYears eve marathon concert of all nine Beethoven symphonies in Tokyo; and return appearances with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. He completed a Mahler cycle in London with the Philharmonia (for the Mahler centennial year of 2011) in addition to touring extensively with the Orchestra in Europe. In September 2010, he marked the 100th anniversary of the première of Mahlers Eighth Symphony at the Ruhr Festival conducting the work with forces numbering in excess of 1,000 performers.

  • Multiple Modernities Or Varieties of Modernity?
    Multiple Modernities or Varieties of Modernity? Volker H. Schmidt National University of Singapore CS abstract: The article offers a critical appraisal of the concept of multiple moder- nities that has been gaining ground in sociology during the past decade. It rejects this concept as both conceptually flawed and empirically unfounded, and it proposes an alternative concept, that of varieties of modernity, which is believed to be better able to address the former’s substantive concerns, while at the same time permitting us to speak of modernity in the singular. The main source of inspi- ration for such an alternative concept is the varieties of capitalism paradigm guiding the new political economy literature, and one of its advantages over the multiple modernities paradigm is its focus on institutions, rather than vague, barely explicated notions of culture and cultural difference. However, a varieties of modernity approach that followed its lead would have to be much broader and more comprehensive, and would therefore be more difficult to develop and to apply, than the varieties of capitalism paradigm. But even if it ultimately proved infeasible, the very consideration of its methodological prerequisites would still promise to yield valuable insights for students of modernity. keywords: capitalism ✦ institutions ✦ modernity Introduction In the 1990s, a new paradigm emerged in sociology to conceptualize the contemporary world: the concept of multiple modernities. The propo- nents of the new paradigm share a number of key assumptions about
