‘Cantania - Quartier Liberté’

With the Belgian National Orchestra
Come along to the festive closing concert of the Cantania music project at the Palais des Beaux-Arts! 
On Saturday 8 June 2024, a choir of students and their teachers will perform Quartier Liberté, a musical work composed by Albert Carbonell, with text by Marc Rosich. 
The Quartier Liberté is a neighbourhood where joie de vivre flourishes, where true harmony and freedom reign. What makes the Quartier Liberté so special is that its residents give free rein to their personal freedom without losing sight of respect for their fellow citizens.  The atmosphere is so exceptional that it arouses the curiosity of Stella, a television journalist eager for scoops. One thing is certain: she's going to discover the secret of this neighbourhood.  
The stars of the day are the children and their teachers, who have worked in class for a whole year to bring you this concert. 
Come and cheer them on!
