Description

The historic refectory of St Bavo’s Abbey is the backdrop of the Lauden concerts. At dusk, you can attend four concerts that are a twist on the liturgical tradition.

The ensembles have their roots in Ghent and each bring their ode to the power of classical music. They combine passion, imagination and intimacy with musically sophisticated repertoires.

Lokeren|Music & Concert, Festival
De Fonnefeesten zijn inmiddels een begrip geworden. In 2013 mochten ze uit handen van het stadsbestuur de prijs van “Meest verdienstelijke Lokeraar” in ontvangst nemen. In 2015, gedreven door bouwplannen op de Vismijn en het feit dat de Polifonics ermee ophielden, werd besloten te verhuizen naar het Prinses Josephine Charlottepark. Deze verhuis een succes noemen zou een understatement zijn. De nieuwe locatie bleek zowaar nog gezelliger. Ze gaf de organisatie een nieuwe boost en van daaruit een extra dimensie aan het concept. Het aantal bezoekers nam nog toe en de commentaren waren laaiend en unaniem enthousiast.

Ghent|Music & Concert
“123-piano” is a musical project which brings people together through live music and generates spontaneous reactions. With the motto “The sky is the limit”, various artists were each allocated a piano and its location. This ensures that these locations really catch the eye of people passing at random. The mobile location is the 123-take-away-piano: on Sunday evenings, two go-carts with an upright piano will travel from door to door in four suburbs of Ghent. The pianos are available to all and anyone can use them. Are you driving to Ghent? First check whether you may enter the city centre with your vehicle. Clean vehicles may enter the city centre free of charge, polluting vehicles have to pay. Is your vehicle allowed to enter, but do you not have a Belgian or Dutch number plate?
