| Velma / Requiem - International Flanders Festival Ghent |
|
|
Be prepared for a classical hurricane!
The Swiss Velma ensemble has a habit of selling out any venue where it performs, and 2008 looks set to become the year where it will do the same in Flanders. In 2006, the audience was treated to a warming-up round, with 'Velma Superstar', which turned the codes of classical concerts upside down. This time, this rock band with a razor-sharp edge will take this experience to the next level, with its very own reading of the ultimate little night music: the overwhelming Requiem tradition, with masses for the dead.
Dont' even try to guess what this will boil down to - Velma will no doubt surprise you out of your wits!

| Igudesman & Joo / A little nightmare music - International Flanders Festival Ghent |
|
|
Even sourpusses are welcome!
This highly encouraging title refers to a swirling show full of musical humor thought up and brought to you by tow Vienna-based artists.
Violin player and singer Aleksey Igudesman and pianist Richard Hyung-ki draw a hilarious picture of music and the act of music making in all its shapes and guises. Bach faces Vivaldi in a wrestling final, the Beatles go baroque music, and Mozart's music is turned into the soundtrack of the latest "Riverdance" show.
The music performed with the utmost virtuosity ranges from Bach to Rachmaninov, from Stevie Wonder to jazz and is skilfully wrapped in a mix of sketches, and more or less absurd humor.
