‘Robbrecht en Daem architecten – Bartók in Space and Time’

With Staging the Concert, Bozar introduces a new format in which visual art and music enter into dialogue. New dimensions of the concert experience are explored through the interplay with space, light and materials.      

In Music for strings, percussion and celesta (1937), Béla Bartók juxtaposes two identical groups of strings like a mirror image, with the percussion instruments in between. Architects of Robbrecht & Daem set to work on this special arrangement, translating architectural principles of the score into five floating objects in the hall Henry Le Bœuf, accentuated by a thoughtful lighting design.

With a ticket for the Bartók concert, you get free admission to the talk that precedes.
