MUSICA DIVINA 2024
THE GARDEN OF EDEN

Between 18 September and 6 October 2024, we bring you the 12th edition of Musica Divina with heavenly music in the heart of the Kempen region. The Musica Divina festival brings heavenly, healing music to the beautiful abbeys, beguinages and churches of the Kempen region every autumn. It is organised by the Festival of Flanders Kempen in partnership with Averbode, Tongerlo (Westerlo), Mol/Postel, Geel, Heist-op-den-Berg, Herentals, Hoogstraten, Lier and Turnhout. The festival motto in 2024 is “The Garden of Eden”.

The Garden of Eden, described in the Book of Genesis in the Bible, is said to be a place of exquisite beauty, knowledge and vitality. Musica Divina seeks that power, beauty and knowledge in heavenly and healing music. The theme of this edition of the festival is the healing power of gardens and plants as well as music. Musica Divina 2024 is a meditation on the miracle of the garden in which we live, and also on the transience of that abundant beauty.

During the concerts, the music brings people together. It creates a connection between the musicians, and also between musicians and listeners. The festival team will also take good care of you during Musica Divina.

On behalf of the entire festival team, I would like to wish you a heavenly festival,

Jelle Dierickx
