Ensemble in residence: Zefiro Torna
In 2025, Lunalia will be more rooted in Mechelen than ever, as the ensemble in residence will be Zefiro Torna. Since this musical collective was founded in 1996, it has been characterised by its innovative concepts. And that makes it the perfect match for the dream edition of LUNALIA. During Lunalia, Zefiro Torna will present a number of special projects, including Time Crawls, Somnia, Bach Mirrored, and Balsam. In addition, two muses of the ensemble will also be heard at other concerts: Elly Aerden at Lunalia Lift Off and Els Van Laethem in the context of Coro by George De Decker. More information.
Trailer Nenia - Revue Blanche & Katharina Smets
How do you deal with the death of a loved one? What does it mean to live on in the presence of absence? Revue Blanche is creating a new performance with audio artist Katharina Smets, composer Frederik Neyrinck and video artist Lise Bruyneel. Nenia – literally ‘song for the dead’ – lives somewhere between concert, radio play and sound poem. Watch the trailer here!
Music can make you dream, and dreams give power
City festival LUNALIA provides Sweet Dreams: ‘Music can make you dream, and dreams give you strength.’ For a fortnight, the festival immerses you in music that makes you dream and awaken at various locations in Mechelen. Jelle Dierickx tells you all about it in De Nieuwe Maan. Read it here.
