B’Rock is sparkling more than ever! As the court composer, Handel arranged a majestic water festival with scintillating sounds on the Thames. His Water Music is musical pomp and circumstance in three high-spirited suites. Handel also displayed his most festive side in his Music for the Royal Fireworks. Blaring brass and precise drumrolls make the work joyful and stately, entirely in line with the royal fireworks that powerfully and colourfully marked the end of the War of Austrian Succession.

Vivaldi’s concertos are in their turn nothing less than fireworks on the violin. They are virtuoso, full of imagination and extravagant – especially when performed by Dmitri Sinkovsky. With the energy, charisma and dizzying technique of this top Russian violinist you will be on the edge of your seat.

This production was realized with the support of the Tax Shelter measure of the Belgian Federal Government through Flanders Tax Shelter

In the 21/22 season, B'Rock's artistic family member Cecile Broekaert will enter into an artistic dialogue with our productions, and translates our programmes into her own visual language, based on associations and triggers she encounters in our musical plans. This is the artwork that she made for Water & Fire.
