Due to a schedule change, Fred Frith & Susana Santos Silva's concert was rescheduled for DO 13 MRT '25.

De Twintigers - A sound for the future

One of the notable newcomers to the vibrant Belgian jazz scene is this trio led by saxophonist Adia Vanheerentals, who recently joined Klara's De Twintigers. The band is characterized by lyrical melodies and a fresh, collective interaction.

Between the spheres of the Scandinavian scene and some strong work from Chicago, they are working on a second album, which will be presented during the tour.

Fred and Susana - How they met

After their paths crossed during a workshop in Porto in 2011, Susana was involved in several of Fred's projects. First in a quartet with Chris Cutler and Heike Liss in Zagreb; then as a soloist with Okkyung Lee, Lotte Anker and Christine Wodrascka in TaTaTa with the Hessischer Rundfunk Big Band; and most recently on tour with the Fred Frith Trio and Heike Liss in Brazil, Europe and the USA.

When the Météo Festival proposed the Duo, it felt like a logical next step, and the Radio France recording of this first concert, later released on the Rogu'Art label, received rave reviews.

"Santos Silva is a master of tonal nuances, coaxing an astounding array of colors and textures from her horn, creating call-and-response effects via rapid alteration of open and muted sounds, weaving cohesive narratives without obvious melodies…” NYC Jazz Record

Bodem - The Musicians

Immediately after graduating, Adia Vanheerentals created the music for the dance performance Change of Plans with Hendrik Lasure. Her trio also took off, with their debut album Kleine mars released on Nicolas Rombouts' brand new label MOKUHI Sonorities. They unpacked with a charming combination of intimacy and energy. Think not only of brown bars, but also of summer atmospheres and pink sweets. Not coincidentally, Radio 1 and Klara picked up on the fresh compositions.

Among the band members, drummer Anke Verslype recently impressed with her softly overwhelming aki, while guitarist Willem Malfliet likes to hang out in the zone between pop and jazz, among others with WOOLVS. They are the ideal companions to bring the saxophonist's short but imaginative compositions to the stage.
