Ensemble d'Atlántico & Friends
25/26 is our first season of four vocal concerts in Gent in partnership with Madonna Feestzaal and mi casa tu casa. The first of many, we hope! After the morning concert at 11 am on the four Sundays you can sign up for Madonna's gastronomic lunch. Chef de cuisine Matilde will create an unique menu for each concert, inspired by each musical programme. Don't hesitate!
We're delighted that soprano Emma Posman has agreed to kick off our season on Sunday 26th October. Emma was catapulted to operatic fame when she sang the role of Queen of the Night at the Salzburg Festival and has never looked back. On Sunday 15th February you can hear our own new project for 25/26, called Loves & Legends, while on Sunday 22nd March Anna Pardo Canedo will sing a programme of opera, operetta and popular classics. Our final concert of the season will be given by Duo Coordonné with Anna Nuytten, the beautiful Belgian mezzo who will sing her programme La couleur de l'ombre for Mother's Day on Sunday 10th May, based on her recent CD with lutenist Thomas Langlois.
In 25/26 brengen we een reeks van vier vocale concerten in samenwerking met Madonna Feestzaal en vzw mi casa tu casa. Telkens op de zondag, een aperitiefconcert om 11u gevolgd door de mogelijkheid om in te schrijven op de zondagmiddagtafel van Laura & Matilde. Bij elke zondagmiddagtafel serveert Madonna een uniek menu, ontworpen door Matilde en geïnspireerd op de muziek. Laat u verleiden!
We zijn enorm verheugd dat sopraan Emma Posman onze eerste seizoen gaat lanceren op zondag 26 oktober. Emma is incontournable sinds haar debut als Koningin der Nacht tijdens de Salzburger Festspiele en zingt nu overal. Op zondag 15 februari brengen we ons nieuw project voor 25/26, Loves & Legends, en op zondag 22 maart zingt Anna Pardo Canedo een lenteconcert met populaire klassieken. Mezzo-sopraan Anna Nuytten sluit ons eerste seizoen af met een concert op moederdag, zondag 10 mei. Haar Duo Coordonné brengt het programma La couleur de l'hombre op basis van de cd die ze onlangs opnam met luitenist Thomas Langlois.

Sunday 26th October 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. Tickets for Emma here, passepartout for all four concerts here.
On Sunday February 15th 2026 Ensemble d'Atlántico will present our new project for 25/26, called Loves & Legends. It's a Valentine's Day concert (well actually the day after, when you're still thinking with either delight or regret about the previous day). It's 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, passepartout for all four concerts here.
On Sunday 22nd March 2026 Anna Pardo Canedo will be joined by pianist Andrew Wise for a programme of popular classics for Spring, including the irresistible Siete Canciones populares Espanoles by de Falla and a selection of arias from opera and operetta. Tickets for Anna here, passepartout for all four concerts 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, passepartout for all four concerts here.
