Double Bill: The Scratch Band + Caroline Vrijens

The evening opens with a  musical journey full of hope and co-creativity. Pianist and participatory artist Tina Reynaert embarks on an intense musical journey together with youngsters from Bruges Red Cross Reception Centre. Drawing on the youngsters’ individual stories and voices and the connecting power of music, they collectively create a very special concert.

Following this concert, the Concertgebouw's season’s thinker Caroline Vrijens leads a discussion (in Dutch) about migration experiences. What does it mean to be a refugee in Flanders, especially for a youngster? What is the current situation? How do young refugees find their way? Children's Rights Commissioner Caroline Vrijens discusses these and other questions with experts and lived experience consultants.
