Thursday Januari 21st., 2021: New Year streaming concert on facebook.

Thursday January 21st., 2021 New Year streaming concert on facebook.

"Logos Stroomt", with Françoise Vanhecke and Moniek Darge.

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”.

The hilarious music theater performance Basta Diva turned out to be a firework of artistic energy when soprano Françoise Vanhecke and producer Lieven Debrauwer put their creative heads together. Light designer Cecile De Troyer was brought in and so the "Holy Trinity" came into existence that inspired BASTA DIVA. A hilarious, multi-layered show for every age.
