Winter Magic New Year's Concert BOWs

Wintermagisch Nieuwjaarsconcert BOWs Location: Theaterzolder Ken do you already know the Awouters family? A family with music in their DNA… A family where the love for music is literally in the name: Bérénice, Olive, and Willem together form the word BOW, English for violin bow. Coincidence? Maybe. Magical? Absolutely. Every offspring of this musical nest plays a string instrument, and their musical achievements are nothing short of impressive: Bérénice Awouters Violiste at Bryggen Strings, ex-Antwerp Symphony Orchestra, and selected for the prestigious Gustav Mahler Academy. She teaches violin at multiple academies and is a guest lecturer at LUCA School of Arts. In addition, she plays freelance with top orchestras in Belgium and the Netherlands. Willem Awouters Cellist with prizes such as the Helikon Prize and 'De Roode Roos'. He combines his passion for music with science: in 2024 he obtained his master's degree in Biomedische Wetenschappen. During his internship in Madrid, he led the cello section of the university orchestra. Olive Awouters Altvioliste, finalist of VLAMO, and member of the string trio BOWs with her brother and sister. She shone as a soloist with Ars Academia and combines music with education: Olive is a teacher at VIIO Tongeren. Veronique Henderix & Michel Awouters De musical foundations of the family. Both graduated from the Lemmens Institute, with international experience at e.g., André Rieu’s Johann Strauss Orkest. Today they are passionate teachers and freelance violinists in Belgium and the Netherlands. From concert halls in Vienna to classrooms in Limburg, the Awouters family proves that music is not just a calling, but also a lifestyle.
