dream images
Duration: 60 minutes
Format: voice & piano (mezzo-soprano and piano)
Suitable for: concert halls, chamber music series, song recitals
Dream Images unfolds in a sound world where music does not describe, but evokes.
With Dream Images, mezzo-soprano Herlinde Van de Straete and pianist Babette Craens explore a sound world in which music and imagination are closely intertwined.
The program brings together songs and solo piano works that evoke images rather than describe them: like fragments of a dream that appear and dissolve.
At its core are the Vier Lieder op. 4 by Alban Berg, alongside works by George Crumb. Moving between voice and piano, the program unfolds as a continuous interplay between text and sound.
Shifting between clarity and ambiguity, Dream Images creates a space in which listeners are invited to form their own inner landscapes.
Lacunes
Duration: 60 minutes
Format: voice & piano (soprano and piano)
Suitable for: concert halls, chamber music series, song recitals
Lacunes explores what is left unsaid — the silences, fractures, and spaces between sound and word.
Lacunes is a program created in collaboration with soprano Fleur Strijbos, exploring what is left unsaid: silences, fractures, and the spaces between words and sounds.
Rather than avoiding these gaps, the music brings them into focus, treating absence as a place of tension, anticipation, and imagination.
The repertoire moves between familiar and lesser-known works, featuring music by August De Boeck, Piet Swerts, and contemporary Belgian composers including Alain Craens and Noah Senden.
Lacunes unfolds in fragments: moments that emerge and dissolve - inviting the listener to inhabit what lies in between.
