June 9, 10 and 11, 2023 20:00: Reflets Sonores, concerts and sound installations @ Chapelle de Verre de Fauquez


Festival Reflets Sonores at the Chapelle de Verre

The “Reflets sonores” festival, organised by the Belgian Federation for Electroacoustic Music , offers three evenings of exceptional sound creation in an unusual heritage site.
The Chapelle de Verre de Fauquez, entirely decorated in Marbrite, lends itself perfectly to listening and contemplation. The acousmonium, an orchestra of 30 loudspeakers installed for the occasion, will transport you into an immersive and varied sound experience: electroacoustic and acousmatic music, live electronics, Tibetan bowls, butō dance and interactive sound installations.

On Friday the 9th, we will celebrate both the 20th anniversary of City Sonic and the 20th anniversary of the first electroacoustic music concert in the Chapelle de Fauquez, with two works from 2003. And we will play four pieces from the Sonic Spheres project, launched by Transcultures around the celebrations of the centenary of the birth of Belgian sculptor Pol Bury: two acousmatic works by FeBeME composers and two live electronics proposed by Transcultures, the first of which will open the evening, with the vibrations of Tibetan bowls gently exciting the resonances of the Chapel. All this will be complemented by works by composers used to its acoustics.

On Saturday 10, alongside beautiful acousmatic works by composers of different generations, we will rediscover the duo Tempocaïne 200, who performed in the Chapel four years ago and return with new sound experiments.

Sunday 11 will open with 3 creations accompanied by the butō dancer Yuri Matsumaru, a first collaboration that we will have the pleasure to discover. The concert will continue with several established composers and will be an opportunity to listen to a work with an unusual format.

Finally, sound installations will be on the programme every day, before and after the concerts and during the interval.

In partnership with Transcultures in the framework of City Sonic 20 years and realised with the help of the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, Administration générale de la Culture, Service de la Musique.
Acousmonium : ARTeM asbl, Roald Baudoux, Stéphanie Laforce and Dirk Veulemans.
