'Simply Wannes'

Concert to mark Heritage Day 2021

You can watch and listen to the 'Simply Wannes' concert, which was put together exclusively for the Vleeshuis Music Museum to mark Heritage Day 2021, here.

Soprano Lieselot De Wilde, lutenist Sofie Vanden Eynde and guitarist Peter Verhelst drew inspiration from the lute books in Wannes Van de Velde’s study. Unfortunately, Lieselot was unable to attend due to illness, but fortunately singer Kevin Van Staeyen was willing to step in for her during this recording.

This concert was performed live in the autumn of 2021 as part of the Woensdagklanken series, featuring a more extensive programme that also included a performance by Lieselot De Wilde.

The musicians were supported by the Flemish Community in preparing this programme.

Inside Wannes' Study

Wannes Van de Velde’s study

We have set up Wannes Van de Velde’s study in our temporary offices at 9 Gildekamersstraat in Antwerp. You can look inside through the window facing the street. Alongside musical instruments, you’ll see his books, rod puppets, photographs, drawings and paintings. But also sheet music and song lyrics in his own handwriting. Neatly arranged as if Wannes might walk into his study at any moment.
