On Sunday 26th October 2025 Emma Posman, soprano. Emma was born in Gent, studied in Gent, and still lives here. Three excellent lifestyle choices, in our opinion. She was catapulted to operatic fame after singing the role of Queen of the Night at the Salzburg Festival, and has never looked back. She's a frequent guest artist at the Monnaie opera house in Brussels, and sings in fact all over Europe. She will sing well-known songs by Schubert and Richard Strauss, opera arias by Dvorak as well as some new works by some of the finest and most accessible Flemish composers of our time: Lucien Posman and Mathias Coppens.
On Sunday 22nd March 2026 Ensemble d'Atlántico will present our new project for 2026, called Loves & Legends. It's a concert full of happy love, unhappy love, who cares about love anyway? and the legends and cultural strengths of Latin America. Music by de Falla, Turina, Granados, Ginastera and the brilliant Cuban composer Ernesto Lecuona, who has been enjoying something of a revival during the past few years. He has one foot in Cuba, one foot in Spain (flexible man!) so at the end of the concert we're back in Europe. Tickets for Loves & Legends here.

On Sunday 10th May Duo Coordonné will perform excerpts from their recent cd, La couleur de l’ombre. This is the second album by mezzo-soprano Anna Nuytten and lutenist Thomas Langlois, in which they explore the rich world of early French Baroque Airs de cour — songs that, despite their courtly origins, delve deeply into raw human emotions: passion, pain, rejection, sorrow, excitement, frustration, anger, and more. Duo Coordonné also turns to the repertoire of modern French icon Barbara. Though rooted in autobiography, her songs transform personal darkness into vivid poetic expression. Spanning centuries, both styles are linked by language, emotional depth, atmosphere, and instrumental colour. A letter from Barbara, read by Anna, serves as a guiding thread throughout the performance. Tickets for Duo Coordonné here.
