“Put another 5 francs in the Jukebox…!” How long has it been since you heard that phrase?
Well, good news: soon you will be able to shout this, and during a classical concert at that! Yes! Our jukebox offers a selection of classical music, waiting for you to be played. A concept in which the audience determines the show's playlist: you can vote in advance, but decisions on what to play are also made during the performance. Every show is therefore unique.
The classical repertoire, casual and according to a different code, without sacrificing quality. And above all with your interaction: coughing is allowed, applauding at the wrong time too.
The afternoon is guided by top musicians together with two sympathetic Masters of Ceremony: Clara Cleymans and Geert Van Rampelberg.
An afternoon of classical hits like you've never heard them before, fresh and outside the boundaries of the predictable.
Harpiste Leen Van der Roost, soprano Liesbeth Devos, and pianist Bart Van Caenegem wander together with The Jukebox String Quartet through all kinds of high-quality classical music, in search of the most sparkling pieces. They play these fresh arrangements upon your request, off the cuff, from the longest sleeve… and serve them hot and ready on your plate! The most beautiful pearls ever written by classical composers, played and interpreted by super-modern people.
To top it all off, the unique character of each performance is further highlighted by our ‘local talent’ category. You read that right: at every venue, we invite young people via the nearest music school to come and make music with us with a work from our ‘list of greats’.
