La Suave Melodia
Concert
01 June 2025 : 15.00 - 16.30
The Ensemble Myosotis is a variable-geometry early music group founded in Brussels in 2023 by recorder player Maureen De Smet and organist Charlène Bertholet. Driven by a shared passion for early music, the ensemble has also set itself the task of promoting Belgium's rich organ heritage. In their new programme, La Suave Melodia, the Ensemble Myosotis explores Italian music from the 16th to the 18th centuries. They perform works by composers such as A. Corelli, A. Falconieri and G. B. Pandolfi Mealli, whose pieces, originally written for the violin, are here transcribed for the recorder.
The two composers Francesca Caccini and Barbara Strozzi are also featured. Through this project, the ensemble brings out the sweetness and virtuosity of Italian baroque music, while reinventing this repertoire for new audiences.

Passion Concert
11 April 2025 : 19.00 - 21.00On the programme: Vivaldi's Nisi Dominum and Pergolesi's Stabat Mater, interspersed with instrumental works. Artists: ensemble Baroque & more, conducted by Luc Ponet. Tickets: 25€ in advance, 30€ at the box office, 15€ < 26 years old.
Bookings: philanthrorgues@gmail.com or +32 470 62 59 14 (Jean-Sébastien Petit).In this Passiontide concert, the Baroque & more ensemble, under the artistic direction of Luc Ponet, presents musical works about suffering, grief and comfort, interwoven with contemporary reflections. The solists will be performing Pergolese's deeply moving Stabat Mater.
But how do we perceive suffering today? Christine Denis's painting, imbued with pain and powerlessness, offers a modern perspective. Poetic texts, carefully selected and recited by Anne Bonjean, bridge the gap between past and present, between the raw emotions of yesteryear and the human frailty of today. It's a poignant concert that both touches and provokes thought.
