BOENK! at work

IGOR

BOENK! Brussels Young Philharmonic comes back in November 2021, stronger than ever, with an exciting programme around composer Igor Stravinsky (1882-1971).

BOENK! takes up the challenge to tackle some of his most known works with a personal twist. To do so, we called our dear friends from ReMuA ShAkE Young Orchestra to play with us a new creation crossing music and theater. The music composed by Mathias Coppens will be accompanied by a text written by Margot De Ley and brought to life by actor Filip Jordens. The show will dive the public in the life of Igor with references to some of his most famous pieces.

To conclude this programme with fireworks, BOENK! will also present Stavinsky’s iconic ballet The Rite of Spring in a unique version.

See you in Studio 4 in Flagey!

Dirigent: Rik Ghesquière
