March 1st., 2022: release of digital album / compact disc "Stordeur Tribe".

Stordeur was born in Haine-Saint-Paul. His musical career started in 1977 with a tape composition for the soundtrack to a film on Gordon Matta-Clark titled "Office Baroque", by Eric Convents and Roger Steylaerts. 

Later in the 1970s, he participated in the avantgarde music ensemble "Studio voor Experimentele Muziek", founded in Antwerp, Flanders, by Joris De Laet in 1973. S.E.M.'s associate composers in the 1970s included: Dirk Veulemans, Paul Adriaenssens, Karel Goeyvaerts, Lucien Goethals and Serge Verstockt. 

Stordeur founded his own electronic music studio "Studio Synthèse" in 1973 in Brussels.

In 2020, the Antenna Fest paid tribute to this forerunner in Belgian and international electronic music. The result of this tribute has now been released in the form of a CD and a digital download. 

Artists who once worked with the man have put him in the flowers. as there are Willy Van Buggenhout and Françoise Vanhecke Soprano, Guy Drieghe D.  

You can hear the result at the Bandcamp of AntennA.

Released: March 1, 2022.

Fascinating COVID solo concert 'More than a Voice'. Livestream on YouTube

For the last concert of "Klassiek in Den Botaniek" we are honored to invite soprano and Knight in the Order of the Crown, Dr. Françoise Vanhecke PhD (aka composer Irma Bilbao) for a fascinating COVID solo concert 'More than a Voice'. 

Appointment next Tuesday 15 Dec, 12.30-13: 10 a.m. 

Livestream link: YouTube

Passionate curiosity and polyvalence characterizes the singer-composer who, with her phenomenal voice and her unique Inhaling Singing - ISFV® technique, and as a trendsetter with performances ranging from baroque to pop and experimental music, regularly performs on the program of major music festivals and theaters of the world. A Palmo D’Oro in Italy and the New York Women Composers Grant gave her international career a strong boost, but she is  therefore not a “BV”.

Singing star with pranks Carmella Lucia Pommodori di Monte Carlo (Françoise Vanhecke) parades with her singing talents and boasts at the audience how well she can sing Mozart, Beethoven, Puccini, Bach… but also the repertoire of Piaf, Dalida and Michael Jackson! Her director Richard Le Grand (Lieven Debrauwer) is secretly jealous of her success and things go off the rails ...

A hilarious theatre performance for all ages!
