B-Classic - 30.09.2023 Festival BEROERT: Manchester Collective & Bryggen Bruges Strings

B-classic and CC de Bogaard stir you up with adventurous concerts in Truien's prime heritage.

Lying between centuries-old murals, tripping on classical music and a night of pounding on Beethoven & co: the festival Beroert by B-Classic and CC de Bogaard explores adventurous paths in beautiful, centuries-old locations. But forget hard folding chairs and looking straight ahead: BEROERT takes a different approach.

On Saturday, the Begijnhof church with its fascinating murals is the setting for works by Arvo Pärt, Philip Glass and Pēteris Vasks. Minimal compositions that you can experience to the maximum: you may lie down or sit in a soft sofa to let this hypnotic trip percolate all the way through.
