This year, VELINX presents a special programme of artists who will touch and warm your soul. Don't miss this evening!

BIANCA STECK Born in Barcelona, with British and German roots, and currently residing in Brussels: Bianca Steck is a young versatile artist who skillfully combines music and architecture. Her rich musical background is deeply rooted in classical tradition, thanks to her formal training in piano and clarinet at the Liceu Conservatory in Barcelona. At the age of fifteen, she began writing her own songs and exploring various harmonies and sounds.

DRESSED LIKE BOYS After years as the charismatic leader of the dynamic DIRK., Jelle Denturck is now taking a surprising and disarming path of sincerity with his solo project Dressed Like Boys. Where he once captivated audiences with raw guitars and infectious energy, he now opts for an intimate sound full of reflection, tenderness, and musical depth. Expect not grandeur, but fragile beauty. No masks, just pure emotion. Dressed Like Boys gives you a glimpse into the soul of a unique artist — and touches you where music makes a difference: right in the heart.

FEDERICO ALBANESE Federico Albanese – the Milanese master of musical imagination – captured the hearts of the world in 2014 with his enchanting debut album The Houseboat and the Moon, an album that remains among the most beautiful of the new generation of pianists. Following were atmospheric gems like The Blue Hour, Before and Now Seems Infinite, and By the Deep Sea. What can you expect? Thirteen soothing (post)classical compositions in which Albanese captures like no other the changing of the seasons, the light, and the breath of nature. A breathtaking album that feels like a gentle caress for the soul that lingers long after the last note has faded.

Let yourself be enveloped by the dreamy sounds of WINTER TALES – an evening of music, magic, and winter warmth that you won't forget anytime soon!
