Ah, summer! Peak season for parasol hire firms, sun cream manufacturers and owners of outdoor swimming pools, but also for anything that makes you feel a bit ticklish. From bees in the open air to butterflies in the stomach, sister and brother Marjolein and Elewout Acke sing the praises of insects and other ticklish things in a programme about nature and romance. They gather songs from all corners of music history and weave them into a tittilating – or rather: tickling! – concert for the whole family.

Acoustic sounds are enriched with electronic elements, defined structures give way to organic growth, and even the tuning of the guitars is adjusted at will. Floaters is a world unto itself. Lampaert himself calls it his ‘bedroom project’, which he is now delighted to present to the Ghent audience, together with Luna Maes, Sybe Versluys, Lukja Vanaverbeke and Lou De Smet.

Impossible love, depression and poverty: the Romantic era was not solely devoted to celebrating love or the beauty of nature. Three great masters of that period—Brahms, Schumann and Schubert—found inspiration in less cheerful themes, yet were able to transform their personal misfortunes into wonderfully beautiful music like no other. Soprano Elise Marmad and pianist Florian Sharpe perform some of their most inspired songs, bringing hope and comfort in dark times.
