SEA-renades: Song recital 'Mother in the art song'

Performers: Werner Van Mechelen – bass-baritone Jozef De Beenhouwer – keyboard Mother's love in sound and poetry The figure of the mother has left deep traces in the art song throughout the centuries. She appears in many forms: as a rocking comforter, as a mourning woman, as a symbol of unconditional love, or as a mystical primal mother. Composers found in her a source of tenderness, drama, and human depth. In this program, songs are performed that sing of the mother figure in all her shades – from hushed lullabies to poignant portraits of loss and longing. Through the intimate fusion of text and music, these works gain an unprecedented emotional power. Let yourself be carried away in this musical tribute to the mother: recognizable, moving, and timeless.
