Jef Neve & Leon Blekh in concert

SAT SEP 5 ’26 – KERK HUIVELDE (ZELE) JEF NEVE (piano) & LEON BLEKH (violin): contemporary ode to timeless classical genres Two musical masters bring a rare musical encounter. When pianist Jef Neve and violinist Leon Blekh find each other, an intense dialogue between piano and violin arises – refined, virtuoso, and deeply felt. Driven by their shared love for chamber music, they breathe new life into the classical repertoire. Works by grandmasters such as Beethoven and Strauss are not just performed, but re-experienced – with respect for the past and an open view of the present. Especially for this duo, Jef Neve composed a new sonata. A work in which romance, playfulness, and technical bravado flow together into a contemporary ode to a timeless genre. Expect a concert full of fireworks and stillness. Leon Blekh is “Artist in Residence” at the renowned Koningin Elisabeth Muziekkapel and has already performed in prestigious halls and festivals throughout Europe. He plays on an exceptional Joseph Gagliano violin from 1793. PRE-PROGRAM: MEZZA VOCE (gregorian choir) & MATTHIAS DE JAEGER (piano): Gregorian choir Mezza Voce and pianist-composer Matthias De Jaeger bring a unique musical encounter between tradition and innovation. Authentic Gregorian chant is interwoven with new piano compositions and subtle dialogues between voice and instrument. Timeless echoes between gregorian voices and piano. PRACTICAL?
