Songs for the Crossing by Belgian composer Jeroen D’hoe remind us of the infamous crossing of the Yser in Tervaete during World War I. But at the same time, the project could not be more up-to-date: ‘the crossing’ is a metaphor for the current migration of refugees all over the world. During this concert, the composer presents his brand new song cycle in a version for soprano and piano, as a pilot project of the orchestral creation which will be presented in the autumn of 2017 in Flagey with the Brussels Philharmonic.
