[EVENT] A Belgian band in Korea – Meet Volpe
May 17, 2022 @ 8:00 pm - May 20, 2022 @ 11:00 pm
From Tuesday 17 to Friday 20 of this month, the Belgian band “Volpe” will bring their music to Korea for the first time!
Volpe plays the music of pianist Heleen Andriessen. Dreamy melodies take the listener to surreal landscapes. The rhythm section of Kobe Boon on double bass and Stijn Demuynck on drums add extra colour, underpinning the music with some groovy beats. After all, ‘volpe’ means fox, be aware!
In 2018, Volpe released their first album and got played on national radio. They performed in several jazz clubs and venues like Hot Club de Gand, N9 Eeklo, Lokerse Jazz Club, Cultural Centre Ronse, and on festivals like Leuven Jazz and Kwaadhamsessions Gent. Indie style released their latest track called ‘Schelde’. In May they’re bringing their music to the audience of Korea!
Heleen (1988) got her master’s in Jazz Piano at the Conservatory of Ghent. She’s teaching in the academy in the same city.
Stijn (1988) studied at the conservatories of Antwerp and Köln. He’s currently working on his solo project, exploring the combination of drums and electronics.
Kobe (1992) studied in Gent, Antwerp, and Göteborg. He’s part of a broad range of jazz bands like The Milk Factory, Steiger, and Kreis. His band mòs ensemble will release an album with W.E.R.F. records next year.
