Lieven Tavernier & United Brass

After four CDs with 'De Zondaars' (Nils Decaster, Bruno Deneckere, Mario Vermandel, Yves Meerschaert) and now a fifth in a production by Koen Gisen (An Pierlé), Tavernier decided on a proposal by Frank Vantroyen to have a number of his songs edited for a brass band. United Brass has about 30 musicians from the Leuven region. Together with 'De Zondaars' and United Brass, Tavernier browses through his songs from the past and present. Will 'The First Snow' be discussed? Yes! Will 'The Fanfare of Hunger & Thirst' be discussed? Yes! Are the Dark Days the ideal time to listen to Tavernier? Yes! Lieven Tavernier with 30 wind players around him. He continues to amaze.

Support: Sarah D'hondt

Sarah started out as a classical singer but only really found her niche in chanson with Douce Ambiance(until 2007). During that time she also met Lieven Tavernier. Her interest in Dutch songs culminates in the project 'Without added sugars', with Yves Meersschaert, Mario Vermandel and Tom Dewulf. In the meantime, she also remains a guest singer with Lieven Tavernier. Sarah was also a guest on the debut of Saf and on 'Spirit Level' by H.T. Roberts. In 2010 she started a musical duo with Stijn Bettens (accordion) with French r. N.a.v. Place musette (Genste Feesten 2010) they expand the line-up with Matthias De Waele (drums) and Lieven Van Pee (double bass). Their first adventure leaves you wanting more… much more.
