Mission

Diversity…, this is the terms that may be used, once again, to describe this 12th edition of the Hulencourt Festival: piano and solo violin recitals with Nobuyuki Tsujii and Nemanja Radulovic, melodies performed by Antonio Serrano which drink in the jazz of Toots and blend notes of flamenco and blues, a trio performing for the first time in Belgium, a timeless formation presenting music from identical instrumentation, composed of Plamena Mangova, Dmitri Makhtin and Alexander Kniazev, acclaimed singer Noa will pay homage to Johann Sebastian Bach, a special homage to Beethoven for his 250th birthday with pianist Nobuyuki Tsujii, vocal and baroque music with the Anton Pann Ensemble, the Devaere, Mañalich et Malfeyt Trio and the Serenissima Duo, a cultural escapade in Paris with a concert of our Hulencourt Orchestra in the auditorium of the Louis Vuitton Foundation, the discovery of piano prodigies with Alexandra Dovgan and Petrica Daniel Ciobanu.

Thought and emotion, vast subject! This year we reserve a beautiful place for the diners-debates, a forward-looking view perpetually renewed with Jean-Claude Trichet, Nicolas Sarkozy, Ilham Kadri, Jean-Michel Bruffaerts and Princess Esmeralda of Belgium, eminent representatives from the areas of the economy, geopolitics, entrepreneurship and innovation, history and gastronomy, world-renowned speakers who will not leave you indifferent! Once again, we are honoured to collaborate with Christophe Berti, editor-in-chief of Le Soir newspaper, who will present the dinner-debates.

History

The historical significance of Hulencourt is quite symbolic for us and dates back to the 11th century. It was owned by the Countess of Boulogne and was used by the Count as a head-quarter while conquering England in 1066 fighting alongside William of Normandy. Nowadays Hulencourt, only a few miles south of Brussels, holds a very different type of head-quarters for a new emotional conquest and therefore the musicians, artists, personalities are very important ambassadors brought to Hulencourt from all over Europe.
Hulencourt has hosted many artists and personalities on its stage in the past as Toots Thielemans, Alfred Brendel, Stephen Kovacevich, Boris Berezowski, Mayte Martin, Andrea Griminelli, Quartetto di Cremona, Igudesman and Joo, Philippe Jaroussky, Renaud et Gautier Capuçon, Pieter Wispelvey, Richard Galliano, Jacques Attali, Frederic Mitterrand, Ana Moura, Maria Toledo, Nelson Freire, Nelson Goerner, Martin Stadtfeld, Jan Lisiecki, Arianna Savall, Thomas Zehetmair, Guy Braunstein, Pere Portabela, Stefan Tarara, Katia et Marielle Labeque, I Sonatori della Gioiosa Marca, Accordone, Alfio Antico, Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt, Huascar Barradas, Enrico Pace, Igor Roma, Ruben Simeo, Stephen Waarts, Gabriele Carcano, Arcadia, Jacques Alphonse De Zeegant, Alicia Nafé, Ana Camelia Stefanescu, Emmanuel Pahud, Yefim Bronfman, Quatuor Hermes, Quatuor Modigliani, Laurent Korcia, Dorothee Oberlinger, Ghalia Benali, Dilek Türkan and others.

Description

More than just an impersonator, Olivier Laurent is a genius performer, an innately talented artist who set himself the goal of reviving the songs of Jacques Brel and who burns with passion on stage as though his life depended on it.

The newspaper “Le Figaro” has gone so far as to refer to reincarnation. With the feel of a musical journey played a hundred times or more, and before an audience alternating between tears, laughter and ecstasy, it is through his voice, his fervour, his sense of irony and his tenderness that the artist pays this most fitting of tributes to the great Jacques Brel.

HULENCOURT SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

The HULENCOURT SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA (HSO) is a pioneer initiative in Belgium. It was founded in 2012 by the pianist and conductor Palmo Venneri who remains its musical and artistic director. Since their inaugural concert at the Concertgebouw, Brugge (2012), the HSCO has been praised all over Belgium after performing at many of the major musical venues.

The historical significance of Hulencourt is quite symbolic for us and dates back to the 11th century. It was owned by the Countess of Boulogne and was used by the Count as a head-quarter while conquering England in 1066 fighting alongside William of Normandy. Nowadays Hulencourt, only a few miles south of Brussels, holds a very different type of head-quarters for a new emotional conquest and therefore the soloist members of the HSO are young international prizewinners brought to Hulencourt from all over Europe. The 73 core members of the HSO come from 23 different European countries and are captained by a German Concertmeister, the violin virtuoso Stefan Tarara.

Janoska Ensemble

Musical passion. That nicely sums up the spirit of the “Janoska Style”, with which the Janoska Ensemble has shot to international fame in no time – and certainly not just because of the consummate mastery of its instruments. At each performance the four artists dazzle their audience with their music and their vast reserves of creative energy. They see it as a personal challenge to fulfil, no to surpass, the high hopes of their fans.
True art knows no frontiers, and the music of the three brothers from Bratislava Ondrej, František and Roman Janoska and their Konstanz-born brother-in-law Julius Darvas proves that in remarkable fashion: their musical creations happily harmonize or colourfully contrast their classical fach with the music of other genres – from jazz and Latin to pop music. The consequence is not a mix of styles, however, it is a creative synthesis: the Janoska Style.

Piano Masters

Internationally renowned as a soloist and concertist for performing works from the classical and romantic repertoires, Stephen Kovacevich dedicates himself to Beethoven in this masterclass.

When still a teenager, the American Stephen Kovacevich made his first public appearances with the San Francisco Symphony. But it was only in 1961 that his career really started, when he gave a recital at the Wigmore Hall in London in a program bringing Berg, Bach and Beethoven together. He was so successful that night that he was immediately shot to the top. Then he pursued a career as a soloist and chamber musician, accompanied by Major names such as Jacqueline du Pré or Martha Argerich. Since 1984, he has brilliantly been carrying out conductor activities, conducting for instance the Chamber Orchestra of Europe or the Australian Chamber Orchestra.

In 2003, he recorded the complete Beethoven Piano Sonatas, earning the distinction ``Choc`` from the French leading magazine Le Monde de la musique, and also a ``Diapason d’or.`` This time, he has devoted himself to Beethoven’s second of the five piano concertos. In fact, this Piano Concerto No. 2 has been composed before the first one by Beethoven who was 25 years old at that time. This piece, full of subtlety and slow movements, ends on the high notes with robust themes, which reminds us of Mozart’s great classicism.

COMPOSERS IN RESIDENCE

Jacques Alphonse De Zeegant

Composer in residence of the Hulencourt Soloists Chamber Orchestra, Maestro Jacques Alphonse De Zeegant completed his studies at the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles. Attending piano classes, he was a pupil of André Dumortier and Valéry Afanassiev. In the 1980s he stayed in Africa in the service of humanitarian work.

Upon his return, he completed his training with the composers Jacqueline Fontyn, who taught him orchestration, and Philippe Boesmans, who gave him compositional advice. His music does not create a new style but leaves room for freedom of interpretation and creates a kind of synthesis of changes occurring from classical times to this day. De Zeegant has composed numerous works, including duets for violin and piano (recordings: Laurent-Albrecht Breuninger and Johan Schmidt, prize-winners of the Queen Elisabeth Competition; Stefan
Tarara and Lora Vakova), a piano trio performed by Trio Giocoso, a quartet (Hermès Quartet, 2015), a quintet (to Marguerite de Werszowiec Rey’s story Larmes de Perle), a few works for soloists (performance planned for 2018), songs for soprano and orchestra (singer: Ana-Camelia Stefanescu, a prize-winner of the Queen Elisabeth Competition), two concertos: for piano and orchestra and for violin and orchestra (Piano Concerto No. 1, pianist Johan Schmidt; Violin Concerto No. 1, violinist Laurent-Albrecht Breuninger) – both recorded for Le Chant de Linos.

Further performances of the concertos are planned for 2016 (pianist Sergei Kasprov and violinist Augustin Dumay). The Concerto for Flute and Orchestra was recorded by Sibel Pensel and the Hulencourt Soloists Chamber Orchestra conducted by Benjamin Ellin (the effect of the Maxence Larrieu Competition). The year 2014 marked the world premiere, in Laon, of the composer’s Chemin des Dames Symphony based on a poem by Marguerite de Werszowec Rey (Hulencourt Soloists Chamber Orchestra, mezzo-soprano Kinga Borowska, conductor Benjamin Ellin); a year earlier, the oratorio Le Mystère de Salut (Choeur du Sablon, Bucharest Symphony Orchestra, conductor Benoît Fromanger) was performed at the Abbey of La Cambre, as was a revival of Visioni (for soloist, harp and choir). Many performers would like to have De Zeegant’s music in their repertoire and therefore commission him to compose pieces specially for them.

Courses

Hulencourt boasts two courses, “Le Vallon” and “Le Verger”.

LE VALLON

“Le Vallon” is our Championship course and widely acclaimed as being one of the best conditioned courses in Belgium. Designed by French architect Jean-Manuel Rossi, this challenging “inland links”” course has established itself as a fair but tough test for golfers of all levels. Reputed for its excellent year-round conditioning, with summer greens always in play, “Le Vallon” is a real joy to play.

LE VERGER

“Le Verger” is our 9-hole course that suits beginners and younger players. Whilst only a 9-hole course, the layout is technically testing and as with “Le Vallon”, is always in good condition. Whether you are just learning the game, or you are an established player interested to fine tune your short game, “Le Verger” offers as good a challenge as any 9-hole course in Belgium.
