Festival of Flanders Kempen

The soul of the guitar at 21:00

Emma Wills

Musica Divina will be a guest in Hoogstraten (Minderhout) this year, at a special location that fits perfectly within the festival theme: the chapel of Our Lady of the Fields. This charming chapel was built in the mid-17th century by Father Waltman van Dyck, the brother of the famous painter Anthony Van Dyck.

In this intimate space, Emma Wills presents her new, meditative concert programme ‘4-7-8’ in four short showings. It is an emotional journey, with music by composers who often have more than one identity and lay claim to different artistic traditions, genres or audiences. The repertoire ranges from John Dowland to Johann Sebastian Bach and from Marc Ribot to Joni Mitchell. This music spans almost five centuries, yet the pieces are connected by Wills’ search for self-appreciation, vulnerability and for the boundaries between the multifaceted sounds of the classical guitar.

In the avenue that leads to the chapel, you can taste the delicacies that Hoogstraten has to offer as Kempen’s Garden of Eden.
