The tides determine the start time
Following the success of our CO²-neutral ship, De Vrijbuiter, last year, it will again be wending it green and creative way along the meanders of the Scheldt, and – new this year! – its tributaries. From 24 June to 5 July inclusive, it will be mooring in different municipalities for an atmospheric concert on the riverbank, free to listen to from the bank.
De Vrijbuiter is a more than a hundred-year-old, climate-neutral sailing ship, which is fitted with solar panels, a wind turbine and an electric motor that runs on salt batteries. This year too, the captain again has a carefully chosen selection of exceptional artists from different genres on board: from word art to opera and flamenco. All hands on deck for beautiful music at idyllic locations on the water!
Esteban Murillo was born near Charleroi and grew up with flamenco: his grandfather’s singing and his uncles’ guitars formed the soundtrack of his childhood. He grew into one of our most prominent flamenco singers and shared a stage with world-famous greats. For the STROOM concerts on the riverbank, he collaborated with guitarist Alexander Gavilán, who links the authentic flamenco technique with his own contemporary creativity. His playing is intense and virtuoso. Together they bring a pure piece of Andalucía to the banks of the Scheldt!
