12 MARCH 2023 – OPENING THE CHAPEL, MARIEKERKE

The Chapel in Mariekerke reopens its doors after a thorough renovation and Casco Phil provides a surprising and adventurous musical program tailored to this beautiful church.

We dive into history with Belgian Orlando di Lasso, who was born 100 years before the church was first rebuilt. The restored organ will also be highlighted, obviously with works by Bach. Also on the program are some classics from the romantic repertoire.

Especially for this opening, Benjamin Haemhouts composed a new work inspired by the many morning walks along the Scheldt in Mariekerke. A world premiere!
