New Project : El Fuego de la Musica!

BOENK! Brussels Young Philharmonic and ReMuA/ShAkE are joining forces in 2019. Together we will be working on music from Carmen, Bizet’s melodious and highly popular opera. The young musicians of BOENK! and the ReMuA/ShAkE children’s choir will be on stage at Flagey in Brussels on 8 June during the El Sistema Festival. El Sistema is a model for music education that originated in Venezuela. El Sistema seeks to offer an accessible music education system for children and youth of all social classes. The collaboration between BOENK! and the ReMuA/ShAkE children’s choir is in the capable hands of conductor Rik Ghesquière.
