Lassus Grand Cru
Zefiro Torna |
The ear is a shell. It can hold music. Or wine. Which is convenient: Lassus Grand Cru is a music show sprinkled with risqué French chansons, jaunty Italian villanelles and German drinking songs, all by renaissance composer Orlandus Lassus [a.k.a. Di Lasso].
During the show the audience is offered select wines that do justice to the characteristics of the songs and the European regions where Lassus sojourned. Actor Stefaan Degand [Wevelgem, 1978] and countertenor Steve Dugardin [Ostend, 1964] – a wine connoisseur – entertain their guests with exquisite faits divers on hospitality, etiquette and manners.
There are free shuttle busses available from the festivalsquare to the location of the show. These busses leave half an hour before the show starts.
