Concert as part of the event Fasten Seat Belts ! organised by the Luc Brewaeys Foundation, in which numerous partners from the world of Belgian classical music are joining forces to revive the music of Luc Brewaeys throughout an entire season.
Ten years after the death of Luc Brewaeys (1959–2015), organisers, orchestras, ensembles, musical institutions and other partners are joining forces to offer a broad overview of the music of one of Flanders’ most remarkable composers throughout the season.
Under the baton of Ilan Volkov, the Brussels Philharmonic has chosen the Second and Sixth Symphonies: in the latter, Brewaeys brings together everything he stands for – the rich colours of 20th-century spectral music, bold orchestration and a confrontation with electronics.
It is undoubtedly influenced by this momentum that Daan Janssens, with whom the CHP has collaborated very closely over the past ten years, has written a new concerto for violin, orchestra and electronic device. With its particular attention to colour, sudden explosions, resonance and added electronics, his work is perfectly at home here.
