The Frivolous Raspberry - Finalementea

Met Finalementhee celebrates De Frivole Framboos its near-golden jubilee. The performance bundles the musical legacy of their rich career and at the same time looks ahead with fresh energy. This theatrical concert is full of humor, surprises, and musical virtuosity. Cellist Peter Hens and pianist Bart Van Caenegem give well-known melodies an unexpected twist. Operas and oratorios merge with pop classics, and they retrieve forgotten scores from under the dust. In between, a healthy portion of linguistic acrobatics provides extra playfulness. 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 on a musical journey from Flanders to New Caledonia, from Bach to Queen, and from Bernstein to Liszt.
