For the second year running, Les Lundis d’Hortense is joining forces with ReMuA and Bota Kids to introduce children from the El Sistema project to jazz.
Inspired by the Venezuelan model, El Sistema Belgium promotes music that is accessible to all, where collective practice becomes a lever for equality, confidence and living together.
On stage, around sixty children aged 8 to 12 from schools in Saint-Gilles, Schaerbeek and Laeken celebrate the joy of playing in an orchestra. For a year or more, they have been learning an instrument after school and building up a repertoire partly chosen or created by them.
As part of this, they will meet Belgian-Chilean composer Marylène Corro during a private interactive concert at the Jazz Station, before joining her on stage at the Orangerie.
