De Tuin Van Eden - 17 tem 19/09/2009

Music is the wine that fills the cup of silence

Blissful music and divine wine: real joie de vivre. The Festival of Flanders Ghent once again offers you a unique combination: wine tastings together with music tastings. By candlelight you alternate between enjoying a good glass of wine and listening to the resulting music. The 22-year-old top sommelier Hilde Jonckheere (Sommelier of the Year - GaultMillau) and doctor in musicologyJelle Dierickx combine their knowledge to create a unique experience. Discover the points of contact between the joys of Dionysos and those of Apollon and be guided by two specialists. In short: joy for the ears and taste buds. A divine experience...

Poet and radio producer Bart Stouten (Klara) is already charmed by the project that bears the name of his radio program. He will occasionally be heard in the foyer of the Handelsbeurs.
