Part 2 farewell concert CCB

At this 2nd part of the farewell concert of the old building, we welcome not one but two Belgian performances. We start the evening with Kim Versteijnen who once started her musical career at the Academy for music and word the Noorderkempen, nowadays better known as the border academy. Together with Tim Finoulist she forms a jazz duo. KIM & TIM Album presentation – Signs, Signals and Sirens Met her warm voice, natural suppleness, and subtle expressiveness, and with his refined, melodic guitar playing, Kim and Tim create a sound world where every note seems to breathe. Their music moves between stillness, intensity, and poetic storytelling. Original compositions flow effortlessly together with carefully chosen standards and surprising reworkings of pop and folk songs. Since winning the first prize at the Dinant Leffe Jazz Nights Festival, Kim and Tim have built a strong reputation as performers and as passionate jazz teachers. Their concerts are praised for their organic interplay, their austere intensity, their virtuosity, and the natural musical dialogue between voice and guitar. After this performance, it is the turn of the Ghent Folk Violin Project with none other than the Baarlese Lotte Remmen. Ghent Folk Violin Project – NEW ALBUM: BARABAO (release 2027) Since 2024, the Ghent Folk Violin Project, or GFVP for short, is back on stage. The four 'swinging' folk violins, accompanied by a rhythmic guitar, provide their characteristic sound. This project brings a mix of traditional and new compositions, enriched with ten extra years of stage experience. They bring the soul of folk music back to life with their contemporary energy. Whether you are a fan of traditional folk or curious about new musical stories: the Ghent Folk Violin project invites you to listen, feel, and move along. It is a musical meeting where passion, craftsmanship, and playing joy come together. In the spring of 2025, GFVP released their album OGOPOGO, named after a mythical creature from Canada. That album was nominated as best album at the Flanders Folk Awards 2026. In the spring of 2027, their 3rd album will be released, BARABAO. With this album, GFVP builds upon an imaginative tradition, inviting some guest singers (Italian singer Livia Giaffreda and Flemish singer Mark Haumann) who have been important to this ensemble over the years. De Barabao is a figure from Italian folklore. Artists: Wouter Vandenabeele (violin), Anouk Sanczuk (violin), Lotte Remmen (violin), Naomi Vercauteren (violin), Jeroen Knapen (guitar)
