Taste the world in Bruges!

 
Reports of adventurous journeys and the rare and precious goods brought back to Europe inspire the imagination about the exotic.
 
MAfestival Bruges focuses on these influences in the 17th and 18th-centuried western Music and presents them during different concerts. From 6th till 15th August you can hear works as Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme of J.B. Lully, Les Indes Galantes of J.P. Rameau, Les Nations of F. Couperin, the Turcaria of J.J. Fux and music of the Janitscharen by L. Spohr.
 
The international competition Musica Antiqua 2010 focuses on Harpsichord and Pianoforte. We invite you to the lectures and introductions of the concerts. The (free) exhibition of historical instruments in the magnificent Belfry can't be missed either.
 
As you see... we're heading for an exotic summer 2010 in Bruges!
