A concert for the very little ones: Klankennest & Clara Spilliaert / ARK Hildegard

In the context of the exhibition Soil Mate, we are bringing ARK Hildegard to the Knight's Hall of the castle in collaboration with Clara Spilliaert and Klankennest. A musical performance for the very little ones. A whisper from the past Shh… do you hear that? Those soft tones, like a breeze brushing past your ear… A magical musical cocoon, here four musicians – with voices, cello, medieval harp, percussion, and soft electronics – weave a wonderful web of sounds, inspired by the music of Hildegard von Bingen and contemporaries. In this intimate sound experience, the silence rocks like a soft blanket, modern sounds dance with ancient melodies, and the cello hums like the heartbeat of the earth. ARK Hildegard and Soil Mate ARK is a four-year co-production with music center De Bijloke, which began in January 2024.
