Warre Borgmans has always loved to sing. At 11 years old, in the fifth grade, he achieved first place in singing (unfortunately he failed the other subjects). Yet the actual step towards the microphone still waited a while. Only in 2018, when he played the title role in the musical Scrooge, did the vocal cords really start rolling.
For his latest performance, Warre enlisted some classic top musicians, friends with whom he sat at the table in the cafeteria of the Koninklijk Vlaams Muziek Conservatorium van Antwerpen 40 years ago. Together they selected a series of cheerful (and occasionally somewhat less cheerful) but always singable songs. And thus Warre met Strakke Strings was born.
Expect a repertoire full of brilliant songs, in Flemish, English, and French, packaged in frivolous, fresh, and new arrangements and performed by a phenomenal string quartet. And between the numbers, there is also some cozy chatting and laughing. Sit down, relax, and enjoy the music and the story!
