With Late Night Avant-Garde, Casco Phil shows how exciting contemporary music can be when you take it out of its classical context. Expect no solemn concert hall rituals, but a relaxed late-night setting where music, conversation and curiosity come together. In a compact one-hour programme, the composers themselves take the floor and guide the audience through their musical universe.
In this edition, a group of young composers look back, through music, on their teacher and muse Wim Henderickx. This much-loved figure of the Flemish music scene passed away exactly five years ago, but his musical legacy continues to inspire a new generation of composers.
“We’re keeping the programme under wraps for now, but you can expect surprising, brand-new repertoire.”
