Flanders Festival Ghent presents: Whispering Leaves, a brand new concept

Flanders Festival Ghent presents: Whispering Leaves, a brand new concept

Intimate late summer concerts in the most beautiful Ghent city gardens

In the Vienna of two hundred years ago, Schubert liked to present his latest songs to a small, intimate circle of friends and acquaintances. We bring these Schubertiades from the salon to the garden and invite you to discover some hidden green pearls in Ghent city centre. Whispering Leaves predicts a day full of nature, poetry, and dreamy music in a cosy setting. A return to the Vienna of two centuries earlier, where people were just as fond of such long, blissfully relaxing afternoons.

More than 21 singers from all walks of life, supported by their accompanists, will entertain you amidst the rustling foliage. From relaxed classical music with Astrid Stockman and Liesbeth Devos to the pure art of Lieven Tavernier and from French chansons to the fantasy language of Spanish singer-songwriter Daniel Lumbreras. Enjoy this heavenly day!
