Xenakis Festival - Experience the universe of the composer-architect

Sat, 8 May 2027 · 06:00
Muziekcentrum De Bijloke Gent, Ghent
€10–40
Soundpainting moments, listening sessions, and concert performances and a playful discovery route fan out into a lively mosaic of energy and geometry At this festival, the traces of contemporary composer, thinker, and architect Iannis Xenakis take root all over the site. A rhythmic eruption that appears where you don't expect it, a sound mass that folds itself willingly through a space. Different musicians set ideas in motion that sound just as physical as they look. In between, soundpainting moments, listening sessions, and concert performances fan out into a lively mosaic of energy and geometry. ‘The Round’ and a playful discovery route also let children move along in Xenakis’ world of thought. This festival day promises an adventurous ride, dedicated to a maker who did not see music as an end point, but as an endless field of possibilities. Met Brussels Philharmonic, Ictus, Tom De Cock, Emi See and many others
