Kris Oelbrandt: Frailness in the Lead

Music-loving monk Lode Van Hecke stepped down as Bishop of Ghent in June 2025 – a moment that the diocese naturally does not want to let pass quietly.

Especially for this occasion, Kris Oelbrandt, composer of silence, is writing a new work for arpeggione and baroque orchestra, the centrepiece of a festive concert featuring old and new(er) music.

Tickets for this concert will be available later, through the Diocese of Ghent.

GEORG FRIEDRICH HÄNDEL (1685-1759) Concerto grosso opus 6 nr.12

KRIS OELBRANDT (1972) Frailness in the Lead (premiere)

Lucas Wiegerink: opera Bremer Straatmuzikanten

A discarded donkey playing the double bass, a hoarse rooster with a trumpet, an old dog playing percussion and a cat singing. Four animals together form a colourful group. In the eyes of the people, the animals are too old or no longer suitable to do their work.
