Hiraeth for Jonge Oren (6+)

Adventurous music for kids

Why shouldn't little people get to taste great music? Especially for younger ears from the age of 6, the Handelsbeurs is organizing a series of fantastic concerts formatted for children.

Bands that play for adult audiences in the evening will perform for little listeners earlier in the day. Lively grooves to dance to, crackling bursts of sound, dreamscapes and melodies that sweep you on a magic carpet to faraway lands and magical stories. They get to be right next to musicians and dive into a unique experience every time.

Read to eat meals

To make the evening bite-sized for busy parents, we provide a delicious child-friendly meal in our foyer afterwards. That way, after the concert, everyone can go home feeling warm and satisfied.

Hiraeth for Jonge Oren (6+)

Violinist Wouter Vandenabeele travels with his musical friends through Southern Europe for a whole summer. From the Balkans to Greece, and from Italy to Spain. Being able to speak the languages of these countries is not necessary: everyone understands music everywhere.

At each stop on their long journey, this band of adventurers meets local musicians, who share their songs with them and with whom they make new music together. The final stop is the stage of the Handelsbeurs: there, Wouter and the many musicians he has met along the way tell their joint musical story. In wonderful melodies and feelings that we all know, no matter which country we live in.

From joy to sadness, from the desire to dance to the silent homesickness of home. If you close your eyes and listen carefully, you will probably feel them too.
