Passienocturne at Velzeke
Holiday Mass
11 April 2025 : 20.00 - 23.00
Experience a unique fusion of different art forms during the Passion Octurne in Velzeke's St Martin's Church.
Moving music by Rheinberger, Fauré, Bach, Albinoni and Zelenka, among others, brings to life the mystical depth of the passion period in this compelling programme.
The St Martin's Choir led by Antoinette Tronquo, accompanied by the trio Flou Artistique (violin, cello, organ), ensures a pure and intense performance.
The poetry that Jürgen Soetens wrote especially for the Passion period and the paintings by Koen Penninck that further explore this theme bring old and new together in a special way.
We hope to welcome you on Friday 11 April at 8 pm in the stylish and atmospheric church of Velzeke for this Passion Service.
