La Libanaise, Layla KANAAN NABBOUT, artiste peintre et soprano, a enflammé, le jeudi 30 avril, la salle de concert ADAGIO, du conservatoire de musique de Thionville.
Elle s'est baladée, avec aisance et justesse, entre les airs d'opéras, les chants lyriques et les chants liturgiques, en Libanais, Français, Anglais et Araméen.
Accompagnée au piano par Thierry WENDREMAIRE mais aussi tantôt par son fils Charles NABBOUT et tantôt par sa fille Tamara NABBOUT, elle a offert au public un récital émouvant, digne de grandes divas, qui lui a valu de longues minutes d'applaudissements d'un public debout et conquis.
A l'issue du récital, les invités ont participé au vernissage de son exposition de peinture intitulée "Chemin faisant, Beyrouth-Thionville" à l'espace d'art ADAGIO au conservatoire de Thionville.
Merci Layla pour ce moment magique.
Antoine JREIGE.

The Bazaar International is coming up! 1st & 2nd December
With a little over six weeks to go to the start of the Bazaar International, volunteers at the Lebanese stand are getting ready for the final preparations before the grand opening.
Under the guidance of Liliane Lamberty, the representative of the Lebanese stand, a group of 12 people met yesterday at the Atrium on Knuedler to discuss the finishing touches. Coordinating roles, logistics, merchandise to display, food preparation, stand fit-out and much more was talked about. This usual flurry of activity around Bazaar time is something the team is well used to, having had many years of experience in organising this event.
As it's website suggests, the International Bazaar is an organisation that is quite unique.
Run entirely by volunteers it is non-commercial and independent and combines the act of fundraising with a stylish multicultural event that attracts thousands of visitors into the halls of Luxexpo.
Now in its 52nd year it is the largest fundraising event in Luxembourg.
Every year the International Bazaar supports around 100 carefully selected charities worldwide.
Over 50 nationalities are represented under one roof, raising funds for worthy causes while also representing their own countries.

Membership and Activities update
Our membership is growing! and we are delighted by the number of enquiries we have received to date as well as by the offers to sponsor some of our future events.
We are hard at work in the planning of these events. As per our previous communication we will be starting with regular get-togethers for our members and friends with events such as the "1er dimanche" lunch meeting for families and friends or the "Afterwork du Cercle" our monthly aperitif for business networkers.
The first "1er dimanche" meeting will take place at the "Le Pavillon" restaurant located within the Parc de Merl in Belair, Luxembourg city. With the good weather threatening to settle in we believe this would be an ideal setting by the water and the children will take advantage of all the park facilities, slides, swings, table tennis, etc. We propose to meet at Le Pavillon du Parc de Merl on Sunday 3rd June between 12.30 and 16.00. Whether you wish to have lunch or just coffee or ice-cream (see Menu) we would be happy to see you there.
Our first "Afterwork du Cerle" will take place at the Coco Mango bar on the 8th floor of the Sofitel Le Grand Ducal in the Luxembourg CBD on Tuesday 19th June between 18.30 and 21.00. The panoramic views of Luxembourg-city and the Petrusse valley make this a great place to meet friends and colleagues and network with fellow members and other professionals interested in the Cercle's activities.
We propose to meet up for an afterwork drink on the third Tuesday of every month.
We would also like to give you a heads up on the first Lebanese Gala Dinner currently scheduled for the 13th October. We will revert to you with more detail shortly but in the meantime please save the date.
Site Web Officiel en construction – Appel aux contributeurs!
Qu'est-ce que vous aimeriez voir ou pouvoir faire en ligne ?
Nous sommes actuellement en train de discuter de la conception et du contenu d'un site Web axé sur notre communauté. Ce site permettra aux membres de trouver des informations, d’accéder à des services et, surtout, de communiquer les uns avec les autres.
Le site présentera également la mission du Cercle Libanais à la communauté web et sera le point de référence pour tous les médias sociaux que nous développons, par exemple, sur Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube et Twitter.
Si vous avez des idées à partager, ou si vous pouvez contribuer par vos compétences (ex. web design, développement web, design graphique, blogs multilingues, création de contenu, médias sociaux, gestion de communautés en ligne, etc.) cela nous sera très utile. N’hésitez pas à nous le faire savoir.
