Walter Jr., dat is een internationale naam met faam en een ensemble van jong Belgisch jazztalent. Voor deze editie wordt Jon Irabagon de internationale coach. Jon werkt twee dagen met de klas vrije improvisatie van Frederik Leroux aan het Conservatorium Antwerpen. 's Avonds speelt deze jonge band een openingsset en warmt zo het podium op voor Rebellion(s).

We're happy to have them at Werkplaats Walter as part of new conspiricies with the Brussels Museum of Resistance: Rebellion(s) is the brainchild of saxophonists Sylvain Rifflet and Jon Irabagon. Friends since 1998, Rifflet and Irabagon previously collaborated across the Atlantic Ocean by arranging over a dozen compositions by Moondog for a new ensemble that featured children's choir, music boxes and a stellar ensemble of new music and improvisatory musicians. Their current and timely project, Rebellion(s), combines cutting edge writing and improvising with civic-minded speeches dealing with equality, women's suffrage, racism, gun control, work conditions and several other topics of debate. The music is both a call-to-action as well as inspirational and challenging. The noncompromising nature of the speeches and compositions promises a concert filled with excitement and unexpected directions.
