ARTISTIC CONCEPT & CHOREOGRAPHY

In 2017, Festival Musiq’3 invites the choreographer and visual artist Isabella Soupart to choreograph and design the Festival stage and highlight the unique architectures of Flagey and Théâtre Marni. By doing so, they hope to further develop the identity of the festival. Isabelle Soupart had a track record of many successful collaborations and productions. On this occasion, she will join forces with Jim Clayburgh, an American stage and lighting designer, and with Jonathan Sullam, an English visual artist based in Brussels. For the festival, they rethink the way we experience concerts by developing a visual framework for the musical performances and by working closely together with some of the music ensembles. By combining design, dance/performance, film and music, they hope to fire our imagination!

The intensity of the cherished melodies and the harmonic richness are the reasons of the continuous success of the ballads by Chopin. For this concert we invited Seong-Jin Cho, winner of the Chopin Competition 2015, who is known for his restraint and poetic interpretations that go hand in hand with a sparkling sound. His playing moves and speaks to the imagination of anyone who listens. He is already a star in his own country. Now it's the first time he comes to Brussels.
