For the festive edition of OdeGand on 17 September, the festival brings the best of 20 years of OdeGand back to Gent! And they don't do this just like that. They asked the 5 visionaries and programmers from the past 20 years to come celebrate their highlights!
The wonderful singers and musicians are not simply conjured onto our stages. The programmer selects from the abundance of talent from all over the world the performances that absolutely must come to Gent and that you really must see! Big names and new discoveries, often also organizational feats, that make a rich and diverse programme.
The choice of Serge Platel, festival director from 2003 to 2015: Roby Lakatos
King of klezmer, prince of the violin, classical virtuoso. We could keep on complimenting the Hungarian top violinist Roby Lakatos. And that is why Serge Platel wants to bring him back to Gent. He came to OdeGand in 2007 and blew everyone away with his fast fingers. This year you get to see him in the Capitole; it promises to be a real spectacle again!
