THE FRIVOLOUS RASPBERRY, Finalementhee

For forty-nine years, Peter Hens and Bart Van Caenegem have proven that classical music and infectious humor form an irresistible duo. With singing, cello, and piano, they take you from Flanders to New Caledonia, from Bach to Queen, and from Bernstein to Liszt. Their concerts are sparkling mixtures of virtuosity and absurdism, with surprising arrangements, world premieres of forgotten scores, and a touch of language acrobatics. Famous melodies get an unexpected twist, operas and oratorios merge with pop classics, and the audience is once again made a participant in a musical party full of playfulness. Met Finalementhee they celebrate their almost-golden jubilee: a performance that summarizes the legacy of their rich career and at the same time looks ahead with fresh energy. A theatrical concert that is a celebration and a surprise.
