B-Classic - Productions

Productions

B-Classic makes productions that find a place with partners and/or on their own stages.
We give creative assignments in which classical music is linked to other music genres.

Every year we also realise:

  • the pressure cooking festival BEROERT in Haspengouw, where musicians engage in an artistic encounter
  • MOLD, a cross-genre concert cycle in C-mine
  • the 'elfurenmis' (Eleven o’clock mass’) in the Velinx
  • a nature concert in Borgloon
