For the very first time, the KBR museum invites its friends to an exclusive concert reception.

This unique occasion offers an intimate encounter with art, music, and heritage in an exceptional atmosphere.

The evening begins at 6:30 pm with a reception in the magnificent Rotunda of the Palace of Charles of Lorraine, an 18th-century architectural jewel. At 8 pm, let yourself be captivated by the extraordinary sounds of Ensemble Utopia in the Chapel of Nassau, famed for its remarkable acoustics.

The musical programme, inspired by KBR’s collection of early music manuscripts, will echo the golden age of 15th- and 16th-century polyphony—a precious treasure of our cultural heritage. From 8:45 to 9:30 pm, the museum will open its doors exclusively for you, offering a private evening visit in a calm and intimate setting.

This evening is reserved for friends of the KBR museum:

• Solo members may invite one guest.

• Duo members may invite a couple.

As places are limited, please confirm your participation by 2 November 2025 by sending an email to qrirybczrag@xoe.or
