Ten years after the death of Luc Brewaeys (1959–2015), organisers, orchestras, ensembles, and other partners are joining forces to present a rich cross-section of the music of one of Flanders’ most remarkable composers throughout an entire season.
With Ilan Volkov at the helm, the Brussels Philharmonic chose the Second and Sixth Symphonies: in the latter, Brewaeys brings together everything he stands for - the vibrant coloration of 20th-century spectralism, a bold orchestral configuration and a confrontation with electronics.
Clearly influenced by that élan, Daan Janssens composed a new concerto for violin, orchestra and surround electronics. Its keen focus on timbre, sudden outbursts, rich resonance and added electronics make it a fitting addition to this programme.
This concert is part of the Brussels Philharmonic LAB-SERIES: a sonic exploration for the curious ear.
