A recording that allows BEvocaL to leave an indelible trace, reinforcing our commitment to let Belgian music shine.
This recording expresses the strong desire of the creators and conductors of this project to leave a trace of the remarkable work that was accomplished by this particular Belgian youth choir over the last few years. These talented amateurs and future professionals aim mainly at perpetuating our rich cultural patrimony and allowing an increasingly large audience to vibrate through outstanding interpretations of Belgian repertoire, from ancient to contemporary.BEvocaL, the Belgian national youth choir, was founded in 2017 thanks to the initiative of the choral federations of the three linguistic communities: Fédération chorale Wallonie-Bruxelles – À Cœur Joie, Koor&Stem and Musikverband Födekam Ostbelgien.
This choir wishes not only to give momentum to other amateur choirs in Belgium, but also to be an example and a source of inspiration as to the possibilities of cooperation that can exist between Belgium’s linguistic communities. BEvocaL also wants to show the extent to which choral singing and choral music can be, not only contemporary, but also a socially meaningful and forward-looking project.
Since 2021, BEvocal’s second artistic team, formed by Benoît Giaux and Jori Klomp as conductors and Liesbeth Devos as vocal coach, pursued the work that had already been initiated, with the firm intention of developing the ambitious objectives that had been established from the start, particularly as far as innovation was concerned.
