While Antonio VIVALDI is a synonym for 'concerto', Roel Dieltiens is a synonym for 'cello'. A concert programme that combines both starts with a premise that is as self-evident as it is appealing.

About: The Mozart Project 1

<<Thanks to a marvellous B'Rock, who took the young Mozart seriously, I didn't only hear the dimensions of the mature genious, but also flagrances of for example Beethoven.>>

Stefan Grondelaers
De Standaard, 18.03.2013
About: 8 Seasons

<<B'Rock confirms its highly characteristic, generous and homogenous, rather round sound (...) Gone with the extravaganza of the '90!...>>

Martine D. Mergeay
La Libre Belgique, 27.10.2012
About: Orlando

<<René Jacobs leads the strong Belgian orchestra B'Rock and reaches many stirring climaxes. (...) Many delicate surprises in the performance of the continuo part.>>

Mischa Spel
NRC Handelsblad, 24.04.2012
About: Orlando

<<René Jacobs leads a near-perfect cast and lifts the Belgian Baroque Orchestra B'Rock to a world-top level with ease.>>

Stephan Moens
De Morgen, 23.04.2012
About: Orlando

<<By far the revelation of the evening>>

Serge Martin
Le Soir, 18.04.2012
About: Antonio Vivaldi / John Cage Cd

<<"The Vivaldi is given an invigorating performance, full of atmosphere, with some exquisite violin playing from Rodolfo Richter."

"No prizes for guessing that Rodolfo Richter's renditions are first class and as B'Rock are fast making themselves a reputation as one of the more exciting baroque orchestras on the continent, their contribution is every bit as lively and attentive.">>

It's on its way... the new brochure!

A new cultural season means a brand new seasonal brochure by B'Rock. It is currently printing, but we can already say that we are very proud of the next season. We will play more than 35 concerts, spread all over Europe. In the brochure you can find out where and when we perform and you get more detailed information (in English!) about all our productions. We also made room for a clear overview of our calendar and the orchestra's newest pictures.

 

If you are interested in receiving this brochure by mail at the end of May, please send an email with your name and address to sharon@c-zuur.be. We will happily send you a copy. On to the next season!
