Brussels – La Monnaie -De Munt

Author: Ken Smith  /  Category: Opera productions, news

Continuing our busy season in Brussels, one of our Harmoniums is being used in the dance production `3Abschield’.  The instrument is  by Couty & Richard, Paris 1870. Following restoration in 1985 and re-tuning to A=440, it was used extensively in London for the BBC before coming to Belgium and joining our stock of hire instruments. There is a huge repertoire for this instrument. In the following link, you will hear a similar instrument and realise how majestic the sound can be. Link.
`El Retablo de maese Pedro’ is being performed at the Palais des Beaux Arts. The concert also features a harpsichord concerto by Da Falla. We are using our Goble concert instrument and it is being played by Guy Pension.
