About this concert
‘Een weergaloze stylist van de pop,’ volgens de New York Times; ‘Hoboken verliest zijn stem,’ schrijft The Daily News; ‘De beste zanger van zijn generatie’ kopt de LA Times. De kranten komen superlatieven tekort wanneer op 14 mei 1998 Frank Sinatra overlijdt. Het icoon is niet meer na een dubbele hartaanval.
Dag op dag 25 jaar na zijn dood slaan artistiek directeur Benjamin Haemhouts en muzikale duizendpoot Jef Neve de handen in elkaar voor dit gezamenlijke passieproject: de wereldpremière van een nieuw concerto voor piano dat Neve optrekt met thema’s uit de rijke catalogus aan hits van de crooner. Schrik dus vooral niet als u plots ‘New York, New York’ of ‘The best is yet to come’ denkt te herkennen, en neurie gerust mee. Onze nieuwe ode aan de beruchte jazzzanger verbinden we met twee stukken die even goed lenen uit het populaire genre: Dmitri Sjostakovitsj dansbare Jazzsuite en het concerto dat componist Richard Rodney Bennett in 1990 opdroeg aan saxofoonlegende Stan Getz.

Jeroen Vanbever Biography
Jeroen Vanbever (°1990) is a young, driven, Belgian saxophonist. After completing his classical saxophone studies at LUCA School of Arts in Leuven, he also studied jazz saxophone at the same institution and at KASK Conservatory of Ghent.
As a freelance saxophonist, he has been invited several times to play with “Symfonieorkest Vlaanderen”, “Belgian National Orchestra” and “Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra”. With the latter he played, inter alia, on the Festival Musiq’3 and participated on a tour in Germany.
By travelling around the world, taking master classes and meeting other musicians and saxophonist, Jeroen was influenced by different musical approaches. He played classical music with orchestra’s, chamber music ensembles, and improvised in folk, (free) jazz as well as in classical settings.
In his own projects, he tries to look for interesting crossovers between classical music, pop/rock, jazz and folk/world music. One of these projects involved composer Jeroen D’hoe and pianist Bart Van Caenegem with whom he collaborated on a cross-over project for the 17th World Saxophone Congress in Strasbroug. His latest projects involve a promising Belgian String Quartet and a soloproject with loopstation and live loops.
Jeroen knows how to tell his story, with strong melodies and deep emotions, in every musical setting. This makes him a one of a kind saxophonist.
Next to being a top level musician, Jeroen is an equally passioned educator and shares his knowledge and experience as a saxophonist with young and old.
Jeroen plays Yanagisawa saxophones and is International Yanagisawa artist.
