Let yourself be moved by this young and dynamic duo, with saxophonist Jeroen Vanbever and pianist Lucas Heytens (from Leuven).

Puccini once said the sound of the saxophone is the closest to the human voice. And precisely that is what Jeroen and Lucas will prove with their ‘Songs Without Words’.

In his world-famous aria ‘Song to the Moon’, Dvořák wrote a beautiful melody that is just as meaningful in an instrumental version. Rachmaninov did not need words in 'Vocalise' to touch a chord and Piazzolla’s ‘Adiós Nonino’ was originally a song. This programme is an ode to the song and some of the most beautiful melodies in music history.
