In 2020, artistic director Oriana Dierinck was selected to take part in an exchange visit to Basque Country : Vitoria-Gasteiz, San Sebastián and Bilbao.
There, the first steps for a collaboration with KURAIA ensemble (artistic director Andrea Cazzaniga) were taken. It took more visits and quite a bit of networking to make this dream happening, but... we succeeded !
So in 2024, Z V E Z D O L I K I and KURAIA will play two concerts together (each half a concert program) :
* April 21st at 11 am in de Bijloke GHENT / het kraakhuis
* October 7th at 8 pm in Conservatório J. C. de Arriaga BILBAO
Presenting to you our "FlenBasque Chamber Music Exchange",
Z V E Z D O L I K I will perform music by Joseph Ryelandt, Frits Celis and Wim Henderickx (in the constellation of flute-violin-cello-piano)
KURAIA will perform music by María Eugenia Luc, Félix Ibarrondo and Zurine Fernandez Gerenabarrena (idem)
