[sold out] Belgian National Orchestra & Brad Mehldau
from paris to new york
The legendary jazz pianist Brad Mehldau is coming to Klarafestival for a veritable three-day extravaganza. During this concert Brad Mehldau sparkles alongside the Belgian National Orchestra with the Belgian première of his Piano Concerto. The colourful textures sometimes recall the music of Claude Debussy. A wonderful opportunity to perform his Préludes for piano in Luc Brewaeys’ colourful orchestral version.
