The Europäisches Kulturforum e.V. (European Cultural Forum) announced that the European Culture Prize Gala will be held for the first time at the Philharmonie in Luxembourg-Kirchberg on 7 June 2024 at 19:30.
For the event, Irish superstar Ronan Keating will be performing that evening together with the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra and will be presented with the European Culture Prize.
Many other prominent guests are also expected, including the Grand Duchess of Luxembourg, the singers Adel Tawil and Jeanette Biedermann, the Egyptian soprano Fatma Said alongside the Vienna Boys' Choir and the Vienna Choir Girls, as well as the Mexican conductor Alondra de la Parra.
From acclaimed boy band heartthrob to absolute solo superstar: Irish singer Ronan Keating will be presented the award by German pop icon Jeannette Biedermann. Both artists lead the ranks of famous guests who will meet in the front row of the celebrity-studded gala to award the prestigious prizes. “Ronan is a wonderful person and a gifted singer,” said Jeanette Biedermann, who has appeared on stage with Ronan Keating several times.
The appearance is nevertheless a small premiere for the prominent Irishman: Keating is appearing for the first time with the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra. For many years, the European Cultural Forum, as the organiser of the gala, has pursued the approach of breaking down the strict separation between musical genres and expanding the concept of culture far beyond narrow boundaries. In recent years, the rock bands “Die Toten Hosen” and the “Scorpions” have performed with renowned European orchestras. Keating will perform for the first time with the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra, which will also be honoured along with Mexican conductor Alondra de la Parra.
