‘CANTANIA closing concert 2016’

We invite you to the free closing concert of the international music project Cantania in the Henry Le Boeuf Hall at the Centre for Fine Arts. On Sunday 5 June 550 pupils from 20 Brussels primary schools will be singing ‘The sadness of Mime’ with music by the Spanish composer Jordi Domènech and words by Pere Riera. It tells the story of the journey Mimi made with Cupid to find the man of her dreams. They travel through time and space and encounter figures who talk about the role that Newton’s law of gravity, the discovery of tiramisu or WhatsApp play in the evolution of mankind. The professional musicians from the National Orchestra of Belgium provide the accompaniment and transform this closing concert into a feast for the eyes and ears.
