Program:

• 16:00  Entre Deux
• 18:00  Meal :
• 19:45  Hartwin Trio

Entre Deux is the duo of accordionist Guus Herremans and bassist Jelle Van Cleemputte.
Drawing inspiration from the culture and beautiful nature of La Réunion, they create a
distinctive sound world of pulsating bass grooves, lyrical accordion lines, and compelling
improvisations. Their music shifts between tropical warmth and high-energy drive, blurring
genres and inviting audiences on a vivid musical journey filled with infectious energy and
genuine musicianship.

Hartwin Trio
Hartwin is a diatonic accordionist and composer. His instrumental music has been moving people worldwide for many years. He is known for his simple and melancholic melodies that leave much room for the listener's imagination. 

With Flavia Escartin (cello) and Pavel Souvandjiev (violin), Hartwin surrounds himself with two talented and extremely creative musicians who are not averse to combining elements from different styles with each other. The trio's music is a sort of tightrope dance between classical, folk, and world music orchestrated by three outspoken characters who constantly challenge and complement each other musically. The recognizability of Hartwin’s melodies, combined with the driving and surprising arrangements by Flavia & Pavel, form a dazzling play of sounds you can discover live during a concert by this 'atypical' trio.

By choosing the Fair trade price for our bals (on a voluntary basis of course), you contribute to a more fair compensation of the work and the costs of the musicians and organisers.
