"Paris-NYC-Brussels"
Opening concert
Thursday October 17 - 8 p.m.
“Two trios”
16:00
Germaine Tailleferre, a composer whose creative drive was held back all her life by the men closest to her, opens this 2nd edition. A member of the ‘groupe des six’, a friend of Picasso and Maurice Ravel, her work is still very little performed. Having lived in Manhattan and rubbed shoulders with Charlie Chaplin, it's only natural that she should leave the stage to another American composer from the same period, a famous jazz-woman of her time: Mary-Lou Williams.
Then it's back to Brussels, where we'll be joined by two young female songwriters of our time.

Three young female composers from Brussels
Come and discover new talent! Two female composers with classical backgrounds who are open to other aesthetics, and a female songwriter will be presenting some of their work, some of it exclusively.
String quartet, music and poetry, performance, songs and guitar... This concert is in itself an intercultural meeting of the multiple facets of Music, offering different faces and different talents. They have in common to be feminine, young, and from Brussels.
