In 2026, the Belgian composer Philippe Boesmans would have turned 90. By way of a tribute, Kris Defoort and Stephane Ginsburgh – both personal friends – will each pull up a seat at the piano. The colourful world of Boesmans' Cadenza and Tunes flows naturally into improvisations by Defoort, from whose Dedicatio series Ginsburgh will also perform selected pieces.
