Market concert: organ recitals

The weekly market of Sint-Truiden on Saturday morning has been a household name for years for the residents of Sint-Truiden and people from the surrounding municipalities. A fixed place within this market tradition in the meantime are the performances on the two magnificent historical organs of the Church of Our Lady: the romantic choir organ by the Sint-Truiden organ builder Clerinx (1874) and the baroque main organ built by Schumacher in 1995. The formula of Market Concerts has evolved into a monthly cozy and casual meeting moment for music lovers. First enjoy the sounds of the organs and then conclude with a drink, a piece of cake and a nice encounter with the soloists. This season too, organists from all over Belgium will provide magnificent organ sounds! This year we are celebrating a special milestone: 10 years of Market Concerts in Sint-Truiden! What started ten years ago as a modest initiative without a budget has since grown into a permanent fixture in the musical life of our city. Through the years we have been able to welcome numerous special organists and our audience has grown as well. This anniversary is above all an opportunity to say thank you. To our loyal audience, who has continued to follow us all these years. But also to the many musicians who believed in our initiative from the very first moment and selflessly shared their musical talent with us. Without their enthusiasm and support, the Market Concerts would not have become what they are today. On Saturday, November 14 we will celebrate this special moment with a festive organ concert. We welcome Anne Froidebise, Fabien Moulaert, Edward Vanmarsenille and Evgenia Galyan, four organists who are closely connected to the Market Concerts. We hope to celebrate this anniversary together with you. Because ten years of Market Concerts is above all ten years of enjoying music together! A warm welcome!
