Flute orchestra concerts in April
In April, I had the opportunity to perform in two concerts with Méridien 4°. The first was a lunchtime concert at the Palais des Beaux-Arts de Charleroi. Palais des Beaux Arts in Charlerois Taking part in a flute orchestra has been a truly meaningful experience for me. For several years, I sometimes felt quite alone as a flutist, especially after my ensemble activities came to an end and many of my colleagues returned to their home countries. Being surrounded again by fellow

(EN)Mitsunobamboo Shinobue Ensemble - Foyer do Mundo
En janvier dernier, nous avons présenté un concert avec l’ensemble de shinobue Mitsuno Bamboo, consacré à la flûte japonaise.
J’ai fondé cet ensemble il y a deux ans avec Miriam, flûtiste qui avait participé à un stage de shinobue, et Itsumi, flûtiste baroque d’origine japonaise. La formation évolue selon les projets : lors de ce concert, nous avons joué avec Chiamo, qui avait pratiqué le shinobue dans sa jeunesse.

In Japan, the New Year immediately brings to mind Haru no Umi, so I performed that piece, along with Senbonzakura, which one of my students had been eager to play. It was a joyful program, and I was grateful to explore such varied repertoire. I was invited by Yokosuka City Sup

Many of the people who came to the concert also had some connection with Yokosuka.I felt as if I received a lot of energy from the sea breeze and the land. It was a good opportunity to recharge before returning to Belgium and continuing the year there with renewed energy. The Yokosuka New Year Concert is not only enjoyable; it
