18:30 Folk Ball with Duo Macke-Bornauw
We are delighted to open the new season with our dear friends Benjamin and Birgit!
Birgit Bornauw (one of the best bagpipe players of her generation in Belgium) and Benjamin Macke (Shillelagh among others), when the powerful, warm, and surprisingly sweet sound of the Flemish bagpipes meets the sometimes delicate, sometimes wild playing of the diatonic accordion… A folk ball with varied dances, all the great classics will be there.

Our folk dances are always open to all! Some dances may be explained, no partner required.

Pre-sale price until 30/8 !
