Klarafestival And You Must Suffer / St. John Passion Repo

Stravinsky’s monumental Le Sacre du Printemps is brimful with modernity. At the same time, this spring ritual takes us back to a religious zero point, a faraway past when life could only be inspired by the sacrifice of death. The Chinese composer Tan Dun also believes that concerts should once again become rituals, rituals in which music may fulfill the part it has been playing for centuries: acting as connection between people and the world. His concerto Tears of Nature, written for the virtuoso percussionist Martin Grubinger, will be performed for the very first time in Belgium. Also in Rimsky-Korsakov’s Russian Easter Overture the energy of old rituals resounds. He paints a picture of the sounds of Easter in the Russian countryside in the colours that characterise him. Diego Matheuz, the latest star in the Venezuelan firmament from the school of El Sistema and Gustavo Dudamel, leads the Dutch Philharmonic Orchestra through this effervescent festival programme of this masterpiece.

Klarafestival Rite of Spring - Publieksreacties Openingsconcert

With Shanti! Shanti! and in collaboration with Met-X, we’re expanding a lasting and multi-cultural vocal group out of 30 Brussels-based – disadvantaged and promising – children between the ages of 5 and 12. With 21 nationalities, the group is a true reflection of Brussels as regards the children’s socio-economic home situations and their ethno-cultural backgrounds. Weekly rehearsals and five performance moments every year (the première of which takes place during Klarafestival), give the kids chances. The parents are regularly involved (an indispensible element). The process is more important than the artistic output.

Listen to the rehearsals and the kids telling about the choir.

With the support from BNP Paribas Fortis and Met-X.
