rare vogels // 23 residents weekend

Let us present to you the coolest strange birds in Kuregem: our 23* Walter residents! Walter is proud as a peacock and will be showing his five shiniest feathers of 23: Andrej Thompson, Anton Lambert, Bo Van der Werf, Ewoud Van Eetvelde and Nils Vermeulen. Five musical personalities 'van diverse pluimage' who got the chance to expand their universes under Walter's wings.

23 was our first year of an intensified residency program, discovering how to support musicians in the field of free impro, jazz and avant garde music. Exciting like a first take off, turbulent at times but all flights landed well. Time to applaud for Walter's Rare Vogels! Come over and discover their newest projects and ideas.

Buy your ticket and enjoy all concerts, workshop, open jam and movie showings during the whole residency weekend. For the workshop on Saturday, we kindly ask to you to book your spot in advance.

*Oh yeah, let's also proudly announce Walter's 24 residents: Clara Lévy, Lynn Cassiers, Manolo Cabras, Sam Comerford and Suzan Peeters.

'Dissonant-melancholic' is a new solo project by Arto Van Roey. A search for compelling finger-picking patterns from which dense carpets of overtones emerge, with a strong and fanatical passion (or obsession) for experimenting with different touches on the (acoustic) guitar, combined with eclectic and deconstructed chord progressions, sounds, colors and silences.

Bo is closing off his year at Walter with the invitation of a dream quintet. From Sunday 10th of December on, these five will be working on brand new music at Walter. The very first showing of this project is for our Walter audience!
