The German Salagon Quartett enables you to experience a string quartet at its most eloquent and poignant. The ensemble was founded in 2004 by four dedicated chamber musicians, among them Christine Busch, who proved their mettle with the most renowned ensembles. The group ranges across the whole stylistic gamut of 18th-century music.

Among the composers on the programme the least famous is Joseph Martin Kraus, but the maelstrom of emotional power exuded by his string quartet is amazing. Between Haydn and young Mozart a mutual exchange of ideas happened. Carefully observed by master Haydn, Mozart edged his own way through.

Performers
Christine Busch, violin | Lisa Immer, violin | Sebastian Wohlfarth, viola | Gesine Queyras, cello 

Programme
J. Haydn: Strijkkwartet in C, opus 76 nr. 3 | J.M. Kraus: Strijkkwartet in Bes, opus 1 nr. 2 | W.A. Mozart: Strijkkwartet in d, KV 421

For the fifth edition of the Peace Concert BL!NDMAN dusts off a movie from 1927 out of the archives. Wings won the very first Oscar (Academy Award) for best film as well as for best special effects. BL!NDMAN (drums) will accompany this silent movie with selected percussion pieces from the 20th- and 21st-century and from live electronics.

The story is about two young men – one rich, the other from the middle-class – who fall in love with the same woman. However, soon there is a dramatic shift in their priorities: the First World War erupts and both men become fighter pilots in the budding US Air Force. As a result of their shared war experience their rivalry develops into a deep friendship. Before and after the concert you can visit the exhibition Music & WWI, an initiative of the Provincie of Antwerp. Please note: the duration of this concert is ca. 144 minutes.

Isabelle van Keulen is a top-notch violinist. She performs in the most famous concert halls all over the world, concurrently recording one exceptional CD after the other. Recently she managed to complete an entirely new project that she had been dreaming about since her early youth: a CD recording and a tour with music by the Argentine tango musician, bandoneon player and composer Astor Piazolla (1921-1992).

Van Keulen first discovered Piazolla’s works when she was about six years old. When her mother gave her an LP with Piazolla’s best-known pieces she was immediately entranced by them. Tango! is therefore a long cherished dream come true. The Isabelle van Keulen Ensemble, especially founded for this purpose, plays Piazolla’s music to perfection: unpolished, raw and naked. From heart to heart.

Performers
Christine Gerber, bandoneon | Ulrike Payer, piano | Rüdiger Ludwig, double bass | Isabelle van Keulen, violin & artistic direction
