Programma

Thursday, June 11, 2026

During this first PARK Session, Sara Salvérius and Jean-Philippe Poncin bring personal stories to life without words, using accordion and (bass) clarinet. This is followed by a poetic performance in which flamenco, jazz, and Brazilian influences merge into an emotional tribute to Lorca.

 

Thursday, June 18

The second PARK Session opens with Kabál, an ensemble combining music from the Low Countries with original compositions, ranging from serene to energetic. Next, Troissoeur, together with guitarist Pieter Thys, presents their signature electro-acoustic sound blending folk and experimentation. With their recent work and the programme Vinistan, they take the audience into a unique musical universe.
