New exhibition in Geel library
Be enchanted by the magical world of Musica Divina. This autumn, you will discover in the Geel Library the original models and visual installations that have helped shape the festival's atmosphere since 2017. Visual artist Emilie Lauwers invites you into her universe of paper, thread, fabric and light. With her unique style, she created nine poetic worlds that capture the essence of Musica Divina - worlds that can now be admired together for the first time.
Welcome Mathias Coppens
Since September 1, we welcome Mathias Coppens as the new director of the Festival of Flanders Mechelen/Kempen. He takes over from Jelle Dierickx, who is embarking on a new challenge as artistic director of Musikkultur Rheinsberg in Germany.
Mathias is a pianist, composer, and bridge-builder between contemporary music, music theatre, and cross-over projects. His work has been performed by, among others, the Brussels Philharmonic, Symphony Orchestra of Flanders, Asko|Schönberg, I SOLISTI, and Bl!ndman, and has gained international resonance with the Birmingham Royal Ballet and the English National Ballet.
In addition, he is co-founder and co-artistic director of deCompagnie as well as professor of composition at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp.
Aftermovie Musica Divina in Averbode Abbey
In the beautiful Abbey of Averbode, the German ensemble VocaMe presented Hadewijch and the Minne — an intense and enchanting concert in which the mystical poetry of Hadewijch came to life in heavenly sounds. With an inspiring reading by Erwin Mortier and a sublime concert by VocaMe, Musica Divina brought together poetry, music, spirituality and heritage. Experience the atmosphere in our aftermovie!
And the festival continues… In the coming days, heavenly music will resound in Lier, Heist-op-den-Berg, Turnhout and Herentals. Find all info & last tickets at www.musica-divina.be
