Josephine Foster + Ameel Brecht

Opera voice and folk guitar with rich textures from beginning to end.

concert
TH 25.04.2019 20:30

As a teenager, Josephine Foster sang at funerals and weddings in Colorado, the Western U.S. state where she grew up. Could this experience explain her uniquely sensitive arrangements? After her studies she began recording demos in Chicago and experimenting with various music genres, from jazz to pop and psychedelic rock. Today she combines her heavenly voice with ritualistic harp and bluesy guitar to create rich hymns that are as folky as they are spiritual. ‘Faithful Fairy Harmony’, her most recent release, affirms Foster’s reputation as an authentic voice that captivates both heart and mind. Tonight she’ll be transforming our Zilveren Zaal into a timeless sanctuary.

+ AMEEL BRECHT

Part of NORMAL SCHNORMAL, a multidisciplinary programme on normality and other deviations.

What have you heard so far?

Beursssssschouwburgers, What does it mean to really listen in a world full of noise, one in which voices are often lost? How can we become better listeners, instead of simply waiting for our turn to speak? That's what we'll be reaching for in 2025, whether during a silent club night, watching a film poem, in front of a purple soundsystem or in the breathing space of a good conversation. Oh and listen, we know who's going to renovate beursschouwburg! A very big merci to 2024 <3 Hear you soon, B. x
