Ahead of the winter holidays, Gilu releases their debut album!
Founded in 2021, the young ensemble consists of Maria Portela Larisch (soprano), Veronique De Raedemaeker (violin) and Mathilde Wauters (harp). These three young musicians found each other through a shared love of chamber music and a fascination with poetry.
The unusual instrumentation leads them to write their own arrangements and perform world premieres of works written especially for them. With barely three instruments, a whole range of timbres can be heard, where each has its own place.
For their new album, Gilu wanted to evoke the atmosphere of midwinter without falling into clichés. This culminates in a diversity of cultures, languages and styles. The selected songs are intimate, sensitive and celebrate our human emotions and the search for beauty.
On December 11, the LP and accompanying CD will be presented at Beaujean Live, at the Frankrijklei in Antwerp. Welcome!
