Severin von Eckardstein, Lise Bruyneel
Things Lived & Dreamt
What is truth, and what is dreaming? This concert wanders along often-overgrown paths, making its way past suspicions and desires, premonitions and pain.
House visual artist Lise Bruyneel basked in the enigmatic glory of Moravia’s nature for weeks, listening to the rustlings in the woods, the humming over the grain fields, the water rippling down to the valley. From dawn to deep in the night, she surrendered to the slow shifts of the light, gradually coming to understand the soft soul of Leoš Janáček’s and Josef Suk’s piano music.
In this performance, her quest is depicted by a fragile set made of feather-light projection screens on which the tiniest sigh can be seen.
Pianist Severin von Eckardstein, winner of the Queen Elisabeth Competition in 2003 and an undisputed grand master of subtlety, caresses the keys of his instrument with the same finesse. The whole is an intimate performance, full of emotion and vulnerable beauty.

Performers
Severin von Eckardstein
German pianist Severin von Eckardstein already performed with orchestras such as the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and the Mariinsky Orchestra, with conductors such as Jaap Van Zweeden, Philippe Herreweghe and Valery Gergiev. In 2003 won the First Prize at the Queen Elisabeth Competition. Chamber music also plays a significant role in his repertoire, with partners such as Isabelle van Keulen and Nicolas Altstaedt.
Lise Bruyneel
Of het nu gaat om Lise Bruyneels vroegere carrière als celliste, het vinden van het juiste beeld voor een voorstelling, het maken van videocollages of het bedenken welk poëtisch project de voorbijganger op straat zal aanspreken. De aanpak is vergelijkbaar: op een creatieve en emotionele manier, vaak ritmisch, op het raakvlak tussen kunstenaars en publiek staan.
