Solistes Européens, Luxembourg

The orchestra "Solistes Européens, Luxembourg (SEL)" is made up of musicians of some of
the finest European orchestras. Since their first concert in 1989, these musicians have been meeting
regularly in Luxembourg for rehearsals, concerts, and recordings.
The originality of their programming is a distinctive feature of the SEL. Christoph König,
music director and principal conductor, succeeds in combining the staples of the classical
repertoire with little-known or unknown works in the same programme.
They also reach out to new audiences by organising concerts in schools and at public places.
In addition, they commission every year a work to a resident composer. To date, the SEL have produced more than 120 CDs for Sony Classical, Chandos, Naxos, and Rubicon, among others. The SEL, whose activities are supported by the Ministry of Culture, the City of Luxembourg, and the National Cultural Fund as well as numerous patrons, are one of the
major players of the musical life in Luxembourg.
