Where words fail to be clear, music acts as a common language. In these summer sessions, we can tell others about ourselves or, even better, build a connecting, shared story. That is why we are looking for musicians of all kinds and backgrounds to make music together.
Our goal? To mix and match musicians with one another! In this way, we bring different languages, backgrounds, cultures and ages into contact with each other. The sessions are primarily for those who have less access to art, art education or higher education in general, but who do want to develop musically.
All instruments are welcome: from saxophone and guitar to oud, derbouka and ukulele! Perhaps you prefer to use your voice as an instrument.
Level and experience are irrelevant; both beginners and advanced players have a place in our colourful orchestra. We start with improvisation and input from the participants. Gradually, as a group, we focus on our own repertoire.
Check www.opek.be for more information about how to get here. At the first session, you will be welcomed by someone from WISPER who will tell you exactly where in/around the building your course takes place.
Good to know if you take a full-day course here: for the lunch break, you can bring your own lunch, eat in at Café Entrepot or buy something at the Lidl supermarket around the corner.
