DescriptionThe Hommages Ensemble, set up to pay tribute to the greatest masters
,is an artists collective with a conceptual approach. Wouters Aerts ( manager) and David Van Looveren( artistic direction) compose a new team of artists for each project, orientated by their own vision of it. The legendary jazz clarinet player Benny Goodman and the Jewish-Hungarian violin virtuoso Szigeti once asked Bartok to compose a piece for them, by preference with Bartok himself on piano. They had to convince him, but once that was done, the project started. Bartok didn't want a rhapsody, nor a sonata, and certainly no trio. The piece was baptized 'Contrasts'. A meeting between a classical composer, a jazz musician and a classical violin player with roots in Jewish Klezmer and traditional music from Transsilvania. Contrasts for sure! The Hommages Ensemble will again fill the gap between different musical worlds, and confronts musicians from different backgrounds with eachother, with their music and with the public. Together with enthousiast speaker Kevin Van Staeyen and violinist/bass player Wouter De Belder, this ensemble will take you to stories and music from a time when everything was different.
