iedereen klassiek: along the path of beauty
MacMillan conducts MacMillan and Pärt at the ultimate celebration of classical music
This is how you celebrate with classical music! At Iedereen Klassiek, everyone and everything is immersed in a joyful experience of classical music in and around Concertgebouw Brugge.
The Vlaams Radiokoor will perform highlights from Along the Path of Beauty. James MacMillan is undeniably one of today’s leading composers. All the more special, then, to see and hear him live with the Vlaams Radiokoor: presenting a selection of his own vocal works, a favourite piece by Arvo Pärt, and—as the crowning touch—a brand-new composition, given its world premiere by the Radiokoor under MacMillan’s own baton during Festival 20·21.
“Music and the composition of music has been my deepest and earliest aspiration. I’ve been writing music since I was a little boy and I wouldn’t imagine a day without music. I wouldn’t imagine a day without imagining music. It’s the first thing I think about when I wake up in the morning and it’s the last thing that I think about before I go to sleep. I even dream about music.” - James MacMillan
