Because a lot of live concerts are cancelled thanks to the coronavirus, we’ll look back on several beautiful recordings from the Concertzender Archive. Today we’ll listen to the Bas Klarinet Festijn (Bass Clarinet Festival) to celebrate Harry Sparnaay’s 70th birthday. We’ll also listen to three world premieres by three composers from Brabant during the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Geneco.
