  Luxembourg, city of the month
In 1839, the Treaty of London took the eastern part of the province of Luxembourg from Belgium to create the present Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (a quarter of the territory that it had at the height of its expansion).
It is the birthplace of the city and country of Luxembourg although it is not the oldest castle on Luxembourgish land.
In 58 BC after the conquest of the Gauls by Julius Caesar and Labienus, the Pax Romana introduced the Christian faith, stimulated the cultivation of vines and fruit trees and spread the taste for Roman architecture which gradually replaced the huts of the Treviri established in the region before its conquest by Caesar.

 ::: festivals :: Anton Rovner : World Music days 2000
The musical “composition” resulting, in its turn was a typical representation of contemporary Dutch musical aesthetics – it featured diatonic harmonies, for the most part, as well as a quasi-minimalist approach of static harmonies and a sound-world alluding to certain folk or ethnic music traditions, with an air of the Down-town American music tradition.
Nevertheless, the sharp musical contrast of style emphasised the theatrical genre of the music, and demonstrated that the composition was clearly following the development of the stage script in its form.
The music was a rather traditional, theatrical type, with a strong flavour of Chinese exoticism, inherent in the pentatonic harmonies and the strong allusion to Chinese traditional folk music by the orchestral textures.

Nevertheless, the sharp musical contrast of style emphasized the theatrical genre of the music, and demonstrated that the composition was clearly following the development of the stage script in its form.
The music, which was very intriguing, was clearly subservient to the text in its development and form, clearly meant to follow the latter and describe it.
The music was a rather traditional, theatrical type, with a strong flavor of Chinese exoticism, inherent in the pentatonic harmonies and the strong allusion to Chinese traditional folk music by the orchestral textures.

Yet it is actually the nerve center of a thousand-year-old seat of government, a bustling and important element of the European Union (EU), a spot where the past still speaks, the present interprets, and the future listens.
The Castle of Luxembourg was ultimately dismantled in the name of peace, its neutrality "guaranteed" by the 1867 Treaty of London.
This may occasionally seem stifling to younger Luxembourgers, but to the majority of their elders these attitudes express the age-old national motto, Mir wëlle bleiwe wat mir sin ("We want to remain what we are").

By the 1980s Luxembourg claimed to be broadcasting with 1.3 megawatts, making it the world's single most powerful commercial broadcaster in the medium wave range, at least in terms of individual transmitter power.

 ISCM World Music Days 2000 Luxembourg 29 September-8 October   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Luxembourg city and towns hosted lavishly the International Society for Contemporary Music's annual meeting and General Assembly, based at the Novotel in the Plateau de Kirchberg, which houses the European Parliament and looks back upon the vast, glass cladded Jean Monnet housing estate.
During the week one could not however escape the feeling that much of the music programmed had something of a sameness, which could be characterised as western university academicism.
That ambience did not seem to mesh too well with the New Music aesthetic, which could be said to be in danger of remaining locked inside its own ivory tower, unable to communicate with the culture at large.
