CasAperta Music salon for people with dementia and their loved ones

A collaboration with HOGent Conservatorium In CasAperta Muziek Salon we welcome duos: a loved one together with a person with (young) dementia. Let us know if you plan to come. Reception from 2:00 PM. The concert starts at 2:30 PM and is followed around 4:00 PM by a delicacy. We finish at 5:00 PM. Noa Vanden Broucke – soprano Rune Minne – violin Bert Lasseel – piano We apply for CasAperta because we strongly believe in the power of music as a shared experience. Music can connect, even when words become more difficult. It can bring peace, evoke memories or simply create a moment of presence – without anything having to be “understood”. Our program combines songs from different traditions and styles. Each work has its own rhythm, atmosphere and emotion. Together they form a varied whole of intimacy, lyricism and recognition. In our trio, vocals, violin and piano complement each other and we let the music speak. This creates a concert that invites you to listen, to feel and to let yourself be carried away – an experience that can touch and connect both people with dementia and their loved ones.
