Guitar concert × Essence

Guitar concert with Sarah Badlissi, Maarten Vandenbemden & Helin Hallik ---- Essence is a new music program for solo, duo, and trio performances, featuring arrangements of film music. The title reflects the timeless core of music: emotions and elements that recur across centuries and styles. The program connects soundtracks from Studio Ghibli, How to Train Your Dragon, and Parasite through a shared musical language—texture, harmony, and expression—rooted in tradition yet reimagined in a modern voice. With works by John Powell, Joe Hisaishi, Laufey, and others, I aim to push the boundaries of the guitar repertoire and build a bridge between classical music and a modern audience. Essence invites listeners to explore the heart of narrative music. ---- 16:30 | Doors 17:00 - 18:30 | concert
