Violet Besson Brass Quartet
A Taste of Music
What happens when Belgian beer tradition meets wind band culture?
The brand-new three-movement Beer Suite by Kobe Janssens will receive its world premiere during A Taste of Music! His new work, inspired by pilsner, gueuze, and Trappist beer, will be performed by the renowned Violet Besson Brass Quartet.
But that’s not all: while you listen, you’ll taste the matching beers with expert commentary by beer sommelier Kathleen De Sutter. A fully developed non-alcoholic alternative is provided for each beer.
You’ll also hear: Entrada (2001) – Francis Clifford, Brass Quartet No. 1 (2017) – Lode Violet, Divertimento (1985–86) – Philip Sparke
In the mood for an evening full of Belgian culture, contemporary music and flavor?
This unique concert is organized by the Master’s students in Musicology at KU Leuven as part of Springboard 20·21, the educational project of Festival 20·21.
