The Catch Music Festival will take place from Friday 14 to Sunday 16 March 2025 at the Centre Culturel in Luxembourg-Bonnevoie.

Bringing together established local musicians and young emerging talents, Catch Music Festival is described as an unmissable event for chamber music in Luxembourg. Initiated by pianist Cathy Krier and violinist Laurence Koch, the festival has a simple philosophy: to create an inspiring and non-hierarchical experience for everyone, while encouraging the Luxembourg music scene.

All generations are invited to participate: connoisseurs, music lovers, curious and novices – all are welcome to share the joy of making and listening to music together.
