The Angel Series #4 / Wim Henderickx (België), 2017
It was the opposition of the Concertgebouw’s raw concrete and the finesse of Tuymans’s exquisite fresco that inspired Wim Henderickx. His creation – born within the BEAT IT! Festival – opens up a new musical cycle for which the composer takes places with a special dynamic as the point of departure.
