Colourful take on a minimal masterpiece

In 1964 Terry Riley composed his iconic In C, a key work of minimal music. Its simplicity and the spontaneous freedom it allows its performers make it unique. Led by Peter Vermeersch, fourteen musicians now take on a new version, featuring just as many different instruments and cultural influences. Illustrator Gerda Dendooven and actor Josse De Pauw complete the picture with colourful projections and sparkling text. Expect an exuberant and exciting concert.
