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”.
