Late Donderdag with Barbastelle

This concert takes place in the entrance hall of the S.M.A.K. - Jan Hoetplein 1, 9000 Ghent

Music and art in an intimate atmosphere

Every first Thursday of the month, Ha Concerts and S.M.A.K. join forces for the “Late Thursday” series. The museum stays open until 10 p.m., with a free acoustic concert in the entrance hall. Contemporary art and stimulating music come together in an intimate but unique atmosphere. 

Barbastelle

The Barbastelle ensemble, led by bassist Jordi Cassagne, explores a tranquil yet vibrant world in Vestige Étésien. Strings, woodwinds, and impressionistic percussion blend chamber music, jazz, and free improvisation into a fragile yet powerful whole. It evokes a cinematic hidden world, beneath flowing water, as an ode to transformation and change. 

For fans of Mal Waldron, Eric Dolphy, Debussy, Bartok, Takemitsu 

Barbastelle 
Yann Lecollaire (clarinet), Hanne de Backer (bass clarinet, baritone saxophone), Annemie Osborne (cello), Jordi Cassagne (double bass), Samuel Ber (drums)
