This week the Flanders Symphony Orchestra announced its concert calendar for next season.
One of the eye-catchers is the Scheherazade production led by conductor Jan Latham-Koenig.
Kurt Bertels, Flanders' latest youngest saxophone pride, ventures into the virtuoso concertos by Paul Gilson with the necessary dose of guts. On a historic saxophone, moreover: a world first!
