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
Aftermovie: thinking and feeling session
Enjoy a look back at the warm moment of the thinking and feeling session together with Huis Perrekes in Oosterlo during Musica Divina. On September 21, International Alzheimer's Day, we reflected on the big questions of life, about grief, love, supporting each other and letting go, about listening deeply; in short, about the art of living. It was a warm moment of singing and making music together.
Many thanks to silence specialist Virginie Platteau, lutenist Sofie Vanden Eynde, composer Manten Van Gils, the musical team at Huis Perrekes, inspirer Carla Molenberghs, the house choir De Betties, and the brand-new Ardentis Cello Quartet with Phyllis Bartelomeus, Nele Gilis, Sara Fontan, and Sarah Dupriez. Thank you for making this happen together!
