 Music in what is now the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg has a history stretching back to the Gallo-Roman period.The 3rd-century Roman mosaic from Vichten presents excellent representations of the muses Euterpe with her flutes and Erato playing the lyre, testifying to an early interest in music.The 6th-century Latin poet Venantius Fortunatus tells us he was impressed by the music he heard in the region.
