“Treasures of The American Songbook”Hetty Kate (Vocals), Maxime Moyaerts
(Piano),Victor Foulon (Double Bass) “When Hetty Kate takes the stage you can’t
help but notice. She has a stage presence only matched by the clarityof her
voice – couple this with her dedication to music that swings, and you have the
jazz musician’s singer.” – James Morrison Multi-Instrumentalist (AU) For these
intimate concerts, British/Australian jazz vocalist Hetty Kate has invited
celebrated musicians, pianist Maxime Moyaerts and bassist Victor Foulon to join
her. As the trio explores classics and curiosities from the swing, cool jazz and
bop eras you’ll discover the joys of the jazz trio, a simplicity allowing each
musician, and importantly, each song to shine. “Like Peggy Lee on a Vespa” Marc
Myers, Jazzwax Magazine (USA) Described as “the real deal” and “one of the best
swing singers on the scene today”, jazz singer Hetty Kate has been pursuing an
impressive international career for over a decade. From intimate clubs to the
most prestigious stages such as The Sydney Opera House, Hetty’s career has taken
her all over the world, from New Zealand to New York. With her clear voice and
remarkable intonation, reminiscent of the singers of the 1950s, Hetty Kate
swings the beautiful songs of the American Songbook – from Gershwin to Dameron,
from swing to bop. You’ll notice that Hetty “honors the composer” by staying
true to the message and melody of his composition, and uses improvisation in a
way that never interferes with the lyrics. It is this rare quality and a
compelling ease on stage that has attracted the attention of musicians and
audiences the world over. Over the course of her career, Hetty has released ten
critically acclaimed albums and performed at many festivals including the New
York Winter Jazz Festival (USA), the Sapporo Jazz Festival (Japan), the Prague
Proms (Czech Republic), the Melbourne, Sydney and Perth International Jazz
Festivals (Australia), the Cavell Leitch International Jazz Festival (New
Zealand), thePeniscola Jazz Festival (Spain), the Piacenza Jazz Festival
(Italy). Hetty also toured extensively with award-winning Australian jazz
musician James Morrison for many years, notably as the featured vocalist on his
symphonic concert (Europe/Asia/Australia) entitled “The A to Z of Jazz”. Join us
and enjoy a warm, entertaining and masterful evening of treasures from the
American Songbook. VIDEO LINK : http://www.youtube.com/hettykateTICKET: 18€

To conclude La Monnaie Symphony Orchestra’s year of celebrations, our Music Director, Alain Altinoglu, focuses on nineteenth-century Franco-Belgian music. The starting point, once again, is a key moment from La Monnaie’s operatic history: the premiere of Ernest Reyer’s Sigurd on our stage in 1884. This opera is Reyer’s French answer to Wagner’s Ring. It too is inspired by the legend of the Nibelungen and of the Edda. A year earlier, César Franck, Belgium’s most celebrated composer of the nineteenth century, composed his Variations symphoniques, a work of great formal ingenuity, as well as a model of melodic prowess and a perfect dialogue between piano and orchestra. The high point of this concert is undoubtedly the Symphonie fantastique by Berlioz, an iconic work that in 1830 contributed greatly to the breakthrough of Romanticism. This work, which evokes the dreams, passions, and intoxications of a witches’ Sabbath, still symbolises the freedom and boundless creativity of the Romantic artist.

Pour conclure l’année festive de l’Orchestre symphonique de la Monnaie, son directeur musical Alain Altinoglu se concentre sur le XIXe siècle franco-belge, en partant une nouvelle fois d’un moment lyrique phare de l’histoire de la Monnaie : la création de Sigurd d’Ernest Reyer à Bruxelles en 1884. Avec cet opéra, Reyer donne un pendant français au Ring de Wagner, en s’inspirant lui aussi du mythe des Nibelungen et de l’Edda. Un an plus tôt, César Franck, le compositeur belge le plus connu du XIXe siècle, livrait ses Variations symphoniques, une œuvre d’une grande ingéniosité formelle, mais aussi un modèle en matière de savoir-faire mélodique et de dialogue entre piano et orchestre. Le clou de ce concert est indéniablement la Symphonie fantastique de Berlioz, une œuvre emblématique dont la création en 1830 a considérablement contribué au plein épanouissement du romantisme ; aujourd’hui encore, elle symbolise la liberté et la créativité illimitée de l’artiste romantique, entre rêveries, passions et songes d’une nuit de Sabbat…

Als afsluiting van het feestjaar van het Symfonieorkest van de Munt focust muziekdirecteur Alain Altinoglu op de Frans-Belgische 19de eeuw. Uitgangspunt is opnieuw een van de grote opera-momenten uit de Muntgeschiedenis, namelijk de creatie van Ernest Reyers Sigurd op het toneel in 1884. Reyer bracht hiermee een Frans antwoord op Wagners Ring en inspireerde zich eveneens op de Nibelungenmythe en de Edda. Eén jaar nadien componeerde César Franck, Belgiës meest bekende componist uit de 19de eeuw, zijn Variations symphoniques, formele spitstechnologie maar tevens een voorbeeldwerk van melodisch kunnen en van een perfecte dialoog tussen solo-piano en orkest. Dé blikvanger van dit concert is ongetwijfeld Berlioz’ Symphonie fantastique, een iconisch werk dat in 1830 enorm bijdroeg aan de doorbraak van de volle romantiek en nog steeds symbool staat voor de vrijheid en grenzeloze creativiteit van de romantische artiest, tussen dromen, passies en de roes van een heksensabbat...
