Corinna Niemeyer, conductor of the OCL (Orchestre de Chambre de Luxembourg), gave her inaugural concert at the Philharmonie a few days ago. Although the arts sector has been at a standstill for more than a year, the music lover tells us about her desire to take the audience on a journey.

We meet the conductor in the lobby of her hotel in Kirchberg, after a long day of rehearsals. The German speaks impeccable French, no accent, bluffing: “I grew up in a Francophile family, I chose French as my first language in high school, I spent my holidays and did school exchanges there, and I worked a lot in France”, she explains in her introduction. Her CV is as long as your arm, and she has worked with great orchestras, in Paris, and more recently in Rotterdam.
