Hip-hop writing workshops in English will occasionally be offered to a second year class and to a group of IUT students. The group will perform on stage in the evening. All concerts are free.
“Until recently, this did not exist. For two years, it’s been coming back and it should stay. We are proud of this very varied second edition, both musically and geographically,” notes Serge De Carli, president of the Greater Longwy Agglomeration.
“There are a lot of different things. We were very well received by Aubange and Pétange. They welcomed us very well and were eager to join us,” underlines Véronique Furgaut, vice-president of the Agglomeration.
“Vector of happiness”
From October 4 to November 29, the photographs of Luxembourger Raymond Clement will be exhibited at the media library. This has followed the Nancy Jazz Pulsations festival for fifty years. He photographed the greatest jazz players of the festival. He created an exhibition, Family of jazz, which toured the world. She will be in France for the first time.
“Often, culture is the variable in adjusting budgets. On the contrary, we consider that it is the vector of happiness. It is essential in an individual’s life. It is a tool for acquiring freedom. Our goal is to bring culture to citizens,” concludes Serge De Carli.
