L’Ensemble Orchestral de Bruxelles (dir. Jacques Vanherenthals),  the European Union Choir (dir. Dirk De Moor) performing at the Center for Fine Arts in Brussels  on OCTOBER 16, 2022 6 p.m.

The magnificent and talented Marie Hallynck will perform the Camille Saint Saëns (1872) interpretation  of the Concerto in A minor opus 33 for cello.  Many composers, including Shostakovich and Rachmaninoff, have considered this concerto one of the  greatest of all cello concertos. 
​

In addition, this brilliant performer also has a surprise in store for us…. 

Félix Mendelssohn's "Lobgesang Symphony-cantata" is a masterpiece made specially for large choirs. In  addition 3 soloists, organ and orchestra appear in this work. Based on Biblical text, this grandiose hymn  was composed and premiered in 1840 in Leipzig. This solemn work celebrates the 400th anniversary of  the discovery of the Gutenberg press.  Its current form is a version that has been reworked and refined many times by the composer himself. A work that is reminiscent of the ‘Ode to Joy’ by L. van Beethoven (1824). 

Julie Gebhart, soprano
Katarina Van Droogenbroeck, mezzo-soprano
Markus Ennsthaller, tenor
​​​​​​​Pierre Brunello, organo


You will not want to mois the unique, vocal and musical stylings provided by the performers, enhanced by  the originality of the works and the rarity of their performance in concert.
