Venus shines brighter than ever! Baroque passion with Jeanine De Bique
Venus, goddess of love and beauty, sparkles like never before. Together with the brilliant B’Rock Orchestra, soprano Jeanine De Bique brings her story to life in a programme filled with passion, seduction and mythical power. This unique concert celebrates B’Rock’s 20th anniversary and promises an evening filled with musical discoveries.
From Handel's impressive Water Music and Fireworks to hidden gems by masters such as Zelenka, Purcell and Rameau, each of which brings the figure of Venus to life in their own way.
De Bique’s warm, expressive voice mirrors her versatility: she flirts, comforts and triumphs with an intensity that makes her a unique performer of Baroque music. Fired up by the energy of B’Rock Orchestra, she catapults this music into the here and now. Prepare for an evening filled with discoveries, where baroque beauty and musical innovation go hand in hand.
