License to Reed: the Belgian bassoon quartet that loves to share their love for the bassoon with the world. Forget the dusty image, the quartet lets you hear how versatile, virtuoso, and surprising this instrument sounds. From sparkling baroque to sultry tango, from moving film music to playful jazz influences: they switch effortlessly between styles and bring every genre with flair and character.
In ‘Origins’, four bassoons take you on a musical journey along the roots of the repertoire. Pop arrangements in a surprisingly new guise meet classical masterpieces. With a rich and unexpected color palette, we let you hear how versatile, warm, and expressive a bassoon can sound. ‘Origins’ is a program full of contrast and connection, in which tradition and innovation seamlessly come together.
On location: Congregatiekapel, Kasteelstraat 30, 9620 Zottegem
