Desguin Kwartet - Grieg, the sound of the North

Do you know what Grieg was crazy about? The rain. And that came in handy, because in his beloved Norway it rains more than 200 days a year. The land of fjords and mountains inspired him deeply and gave his music a unique sound. Grieg has succeeded in giving that land a voice, from the fairy-like Morning Mood to the roaring in the Hall of the Mountain King. From his masterful piano concerto to his brilliant string quartet and from his subtle lyrical pieces for piano to folkloric-sounding violin sonatas. But who was the man behind the music? Actor and masterful storyteller/singer Lucas Van den Eynde, the Desguin Strijkkwartet and pianist Florestan Bataillie bring Grieg to life. With well-known and lesser-known works, with stories about his successes and insecurities. Welcome to an immersive evening in which Grieg becomes a man of flesh and blood again.
