Last week, the Luxembourg Philharmonic Orchestra was busy recording music for the Luxembourg cultural programme for the Grand-Duchy’s pavilion at the World Expo in Dubai (Pizzicato News). Now, Luxembourg’s Federation of authors and composers FLAC revealed that these compositions have been commissioned from three German composers. In a press release, the Federation « deplores this new intolerable affront against Luxembourg’s composers who, once again, have not been taken into consideration. (…) Opportunities to compose for philharmonic orchestras, and thus to export our production, are extremely rare, especially in our country. For many of our members, this opportunity may come up once in their lifetime. What a missed opportunity! »
