On Saturday 13th July Luxembourg will host an international concert featuring an a capella group from Exeter, England and Luxembourg’s own a capella group Sultry at Hollerich Cultural Centre in Luxembourg at 18h30. This cultural and musical exchange will see these two talented sets of performers sing a variety of genres and styles from pop to jazz, musicals and comic songs and will perform two songs together.
The concert is for the benefit of Wäertvollt Liewen, an organisation supporting those suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or a similar pathology. Founded in February 2012, the association ‘Wäertvollt Liewen’ serves as a link between people suffering from ALS or a similar pathology and the authorities in the social and medical field; it endeavors to continuously improve the living conditions of these chronically critically ill people, particularly in connection with round-the clock care by third parties. You can find out more about their impactful work here https://www.waertvollt-liewen.lu/de/
Tess & the d’Urbervilles www.tessdurbervilles.com is an cappella group based in Exeter, England. Formed in 2016 the group loves singing soaring harmonies and great pop songs and often creates their own arrangements. They like to mix it up with different styles and ages of songs, different people singing lead, and people switching around parts in songs. Their belief is that there is nothing better than the shared experience of music. They aim to achieve endless Acappella fun and say they are absolutely not a choir!
Luxembourg’s own modern a cappella group Sultry is a dynamic a cappella jazz /pop / rock group founded in 2017. Based in Luxembourg, the group is composed of singers from various countries and cultures who are all passionate about singing. Sultry uses their voices to create an intense atmosphere ranging from sentimental and exuberant to comical. Bringing back the cool elegance of Ella Fitzgerald, the rhythm of Stevie Wonder, Queen and Bruno Mars and the fun of Disney movies, Sultry’s versatility has something to suit any musical taste.
Admission is free, but your donations will be gratefully accepted. Every contribution helps us make a meaningful impact on the lives of people with ALS.
The bar will be run by Wäertvollt Liewen, and will be open from 18.00. For more information and to stay updated on this inspiring initiative, visit www.sultry.lu. Save the date, and spread the word, See you there!
