Like a dream

In a dream, the impossible becomes possible, distant images come closer and the

the usual course of time is suspended. Also, by dreaming, we experience new situations in

an environment paradoxically populated by familiar objects, places and characters.

This recital aims to reproduce a dreamlike experience. Les Fantiasiestücke op.12 by Robert

Schumann are the guiding principle. This collection of eight pieces for piano is freely inspired by

Fantasiestücke by E.T.H.H. Hoffman, tales in which dreams and fantasy play a role

of the foreground. Throughout the recital, Schumann's pieces will alternate with works from the 21st century.

century which also have a link with or evoke a dreamlike dimension. It's like a dream,

distant worlds will be merged and time will be suspended...

CHOCOLATE 

A WINDOW ON SWITZERLAND

SARGO ENSEMBLE (SWITZERLAND)

Founded in 2012 in Lausanne and dedicated to the promotion of contemporary music, the Sargo Ensemble brings together young musicians from Switzerland, Romania and Taiwan. 

The theme of Chocolate is proposed here not with the aim of competition or contradiction, but rather of resemblance between Swiss and Belgian culture. It brings together established artists and young people from different backgrounds and contrasting approaches. You will hear works by Claude Ledoux, inspired by Asian culture, Michael Jarrell, whose music can be characterized by a certain transparency of texture within a formal conception of discursive and dramatic essence, Thierry de Mey affirming multidisciplinary vision of music and Jean- Pierre Deleuze, influenced by spectral aesthetics and with references to oriental musical traditions. 

Three creations by composers Stéphane Orlando, Andreas Brenner and Victor Coltea complete this program.
