The concert is a typical tour de force by Chineke!, which aims to boost diversity in the world of classical music with both the members of its orchestra and the music on the stand. This aim extends to the music chosen by the conductor, Kevin John-Edusei, and pianist Isata Kanneh-Mason. With the world première of Concerto for Orchestra by the young American composer Brian Raphael Nabors, the orchestra prepares for an “epic journey of light, colour, groove and mystery”. Derrick Spiva Jr’s kaleidoscopic Prisms, Cycles, Leaps (2014) grounds the evening firmly in catchy, contemporary music. </video> <video> Stefan Hertmans Description: In zijn nieuwste roman Dius neemt Stefan Hertmans je mee in het verhaal van een onvoorwaardelijke relatie tussen een student en zijn leraar, verenigd door hun fascinatie voor een vervlogen tijdperk. Hertmans schetst de ziel van een kunstenaar die in conflict is met zijn tijd, in de traditie van de grote biografieën van meester-schilders. </video> <video> Five curators guide you through the Exhibition Love is Louder at Bozar.

Renowned for her bestseller The Lonely City, Laing blends personal narrative with cultural analysis, following in the footsteps of literary icons like Joan Didion. </video> <video> Behind the Scenes of Staging the Concert 'Robbrecht en Daem architecten – Bartók in Space and Time' Description: Step into the fascinating world behind Staging the Concert, where music and architecture come together in a one-of-a-kind installation. This video takes you backstage at the Henry Le Bœuf Hall, transformed by Robbrecht en Daem architecten into a space where light, materials, and music interact in perfect harmony. Inspired by Béla Bartók’s Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta (1937), this architectural project mirrors the unique arrangement of the composition, translating its principles into five floating structures accentuated by a carefully crafted lighting design. Follow the team’s meticulous work as they bring this artistic vision to life. </video> <video> Ovidie Description: Cet échange avec Ovidie, Docteure en Lettres et Études filmiques, autrice et réalisatrice, nous invite à découvrir son essai La chair est triste hélas, qui décrit une expérience personnelle qu’est le renoncement à la sexualité hétéro, sans savoir encore où demain la mènera. </video> <video> Monira Al Qadiri. The Archaeology of Beasts Description: Monira Al Qadiri is an international artist whose practice explores topics as diverse as ancient history and the possibilities of new technologies, always with a critical yet playful point of view. Bozar presents her first solo exhibition in Belgium, titled The Archaeology of Beasts. Consisting of new digital creations commissioned for this occasion, Al Qadiri is taking a new visual turn, inspired by the Gods and Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt. Interweaving ancient myths and recent facts connected to climate change, Al Qadiri's works oscillate between humour and beauty, often with an underlying violence. For this exhibition she is asking us to reflect on who qualifies as Human and who as Beast. </video> <video> 5.
