Coudenberg Sound Box Fest: Ricercar Consort & Naomi Berrill + Francesca Benetti

COUDENBERG SOUND BOX FEST 25
VOICES UNBOUND: At the crossroad of vocal traditions

Staying true to its tradition, the fifth edition will consist of four consecutive Sundays of double concerts, from 23 November to 14 December 2025, celebrating the human voice in all its depth and diversity across time and cultures. From Franco-Flemish 16^th century polyphony to Mozart on period instruments, minimalistic and poetic night performances, and 18^th century and contemporary women composers, the program also welcomes unconventional duos and fresh artistic encounters from pop to minimalism, offering a powerful reflection on identity, memory, and future sounds.
