Solistes Europeens Luxembourg (SEL) is a classical music ensemble that was founded in 1989 by the Luxembourgish conductor and pianist, Christoph König. The ensemble is composed of some of the most talented musicians from Luxembourg and other European countries, and has gained a reputation for its high-quality performances of classical music. The founding of SEL was a response to the lack of professional classical music ensembles in Luxembourg at the time. König, who had studied music in Germany and Austria, saw an opportunity to create a group of musicians who could perform at a high level and bring classical music to audiences in Luxembourg and beyond. The ensemble's first concert was held in 1989, and it quickly gained a following among classical music enthusiasts in Luxembourg. SEL's early performances were characterized by their energy and enthusiasm, as well as their commitment to bringing new and innovative works to audiences. Over the years, SEL has grown in size and stature, and has become one of the most respected classical music ensembles in Europe. The ensemble's main members include Christoph König, who serves as the group's conductor and pianist, as well as a number of talented musicians from Luxembourg and other European countries. One of the highlights of SEL's career was its performance at the 1994 Salzburg Festival, one of the most prestigious classical music festivals in the world. The ensemble's performance of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 23 in A major was widely praised by critics and audiences alike, and helped to establish SEL as a major force in the classical music world. In addition to its performances at major festivals and concert halls, SEL has also been recognized for its recordings of classical music. The ensemble has released a number of albums over the years, including recordings of works by Mozart, Beethoven, and other classical composers. One of the most notable awards that SEL has received was the Luxembourg Music Prize, which the ensemble won in 2007. The prize is awarded annually to musicians and ensembles who have made significant contributions to the cultural life of Luxembourg, and is considered one of the most prestigious awards in the country. In recent years, SEL has continued to perform at major festivals and concert halls around the world, and has gained a reputation for its innovative and exciting performances of classical music. The ensemble's commitment to bringing classical music to new audiences, as well as its dedication to preserving the legacy of classical composers, has made it one of the most respected and beloved classical music ensembles in Europe.
