Past concerts:
17 & 18 Sept.’22 – Glass Museum presents 'Reflection' with Yannick Jacquet
An emblematic group for our Opening Night, the Brussels duo Glass Museum will perform no fewer than three shows for the joint launch of their European tour and our jazz season. On their new album, Reflet (Sdban Ultra, 2022), Antoine Flipo (piano) and Martin Grégoire (drums) are joined by bassist Brieuc Angenot. For the first time and at Bozar's request, the trio will perform an immersive, organic and explosive show, tailored to their music and masterfully designed by media artist Yannick Jacquet.
22 Sept.’22 – The Milk Factory & Hannah Tolf
This is a collaboration that promises a festival of delight. Exclusively for Bozar, the young Ghent band The Milk Factory shares the stage with Swedish singer Hannah Tolf. In other words, the melancholic music of the Belgians, with its slow tempo and delicate melodies, will sublimate the tender, crystal-clear voice of their Nordic colleague. It is a collaboration that comes naturally while promising to be thrilling.
19 Oct.’22 – Igor Gehenot & Amaury Faye
A dream-like, harmonious piano face-off is what the Belgian-French duo Igor Gehenot and Amaury Faye have in store for you. The two magicians will immerse you in a world where the notes of the piano act like a balm on your heart. To do this, they summon up a wide range of music, from The Police and Chico Buarque to their original compositions and Brazilian saudade. This wonderful programme can be enjoyed from the velvet seats of the Henry Le Boeuf Hall.
