Voces Intimae – literally “inner voices” – is a programme where strings speak the language of the soul. Since the early Romantic era, composers have considered the string quartet the ideal medium for their most personal confessions. Beethoven, for example, composed his Eleventh String Quartet during a time of unrequited love and increasing deafness. The result is a deeply introspective and expressive work. Samuel Barber, decades later, rose to fame with his heartbreaking Adagio for Strings, originally the slow movement of his own quartet – now a timeless 20th-century classic.

“Les extrèmes se touchent” — a motto composer Luc Brewaeys lived by. Ten years after his passing, Casco Phil and fellow ensembles pay tribute to one of Flanders’ most striking composers.

Late Night Avant-Garde is a surprising late-night concert by Casco Phil, presenting contemporary classical music in a warm and informal atmosphere. For exactly one hour, the orchestra's woodwind players take you on a musical journey full of premieres, character pieces, and international voices. The composers themselves are present and guide the audience through their works. A perfect opportunity for both newcomers and connoisseurs to experience today's avant-garde up close.
