Behind the Scenes: Robbrecht en Daem architecten – Bartók in Space and Time

Robbrecht en Daem architecten kicked off the new format Staging the Concert. With an architectural installation in the Henry Le Boeuf Hall, they created a renewed concert experience, one where space, light and materials entered into dialogue with Béla Bartók's music. Find out how the project came about and relive the unique evening in the video below.

"It will be a bit like illuminated clouds, with dimmable lights whose intensity can change depending on the score and the atmosphere on stage. A lighting environment will be created that follows the emotions of the music."
- Aurore Aubouin (Head of Music Bozar)
"I think it's a great opportunity for our musicians to experiment with this connection between music, visual art, light, silence and darkness, which helps us delve deeper into Bartók's world. He himself is an extraordinary architect in his music; in form and structure. Being surrounded by these beautiful objects in a magnificent hall adds another layer."
- Jan Orawiec (Concertmaster Flanders Symphony Orchestra)
