Boutersem Buitengewoon Klassiek
Discover the cream of classical music in the pittoresque village of Boutersem!
In the autumn of 2022 Reinoud Van Mechelen and a nocte temporis started their own concert season in Boutersem: Boutersem buitengewoon klassiek
Next to our own concerts we invite music friends: musicians and ensembles of international top quality, to present to the audience in Boutersem. For the season 23-24, we are looking forward to concerts with the vocal ensemble Utopia, a piano/voice recital, a concert by the trio Les Timbres and two projects for families, including an abridged version of Bach's St John Passion. We will close the concert season at the end of May 2024 with a mini-festival with concerts, a musical promenade and a folk ball!

Boutersem buitengewoon klassiek 2023-2024 : Utopia ensemble
From its anchoring in Antwerp, the Utopia Ensemble explores the music of Antwerp's 16th-century glory days. Following their projects around Antwerp Kapellmeister Andreas Pevernage, Utopia's five singers turn the spotlight on Tielman Susato. Today, Susato is best known as a composer and publisher of his instrumental 'danserye', but Utopia brings his forgotten vocal works back to life: five-part motets and chansons - including a 'reponse' to Josquin des Prez's famous Mille regrets - and the five-part Missa In illo tempore. You will also hear compositions by Nicolas Gombert, Orlandus Lassus and Thomas Crecquillon, among others.

Boutersem buitengewoon klassiek 2023-2024 : Reinoud Van Mechelen, tenor / Anthony Romaniuk, pianoforte
Schumann: Dichterliebe / Lassen: Lieder - Mélodies
As he likes to do, Reinoud combines a masterpiece of German Lied, namely Schumann's cycle Dichterliebe, with a series of songs and melodies by Edouard Lassen, a lesser-known but very talented composer. He is accompanied by Anthony Romaniuk, a true keyboard "polyglot" (the musician who can play both harpsichord, pianoforte, modern piano and even synthesiser, as heard in a recent performance of ... Bach).

Boutersem buitengewoon klassiek 2023-2024 : Les Timbres
Folia
Les Timbres have established themselves as an indispensable ensemble for the chamber music of the 17th and 18th centuries. In doing so, they deeply explore various aspects of chamber music (colours, confidence, improvisation). The French trio takes us on a journey through time from the 16th to the 20th century in a programme of Folia (variation pieces).

A nocte temporis
Oh, ma belle Brunette - Concert for families
We take the time machine back to the late 17th century. The popular songs are not yet called rap or pop, but "Brunettes".
Not much has actually changed... A sung lyric, accompanied by some musicians, and you're done. The topics? Just like today, love in all its forms! But also nature, or just a nice story to dream away at. So yes, the instruments are different from today. No synthesiser, but a harpsichord. Not a saxophone, but a flute. Not a guitar, but a theorbo... These bundles of Brunettes were a great success at the time. They were much sought-after to brighten up evenings in upper-class circles. Together they sang - at the top of their voices - the refrains. Will you sing with us?
