‘Sophie Karthäuser & Benoît Mernier’

3 June'16
- 20:00

The organist and composer Benoît Mernier and the soprano Sophie Karthäuser are no strangers to BOZAR audiences. It is no accident that they have turned up on the same programme: the two have long worked together and it is no secret that Karthäuser loves the way Mernier writes for the voice. Their programme this evening combines baroque works with others by Mernier.
