This year la Fête de la Musique took place from June 20 till 23. Four days filled with hundreds of concerts and other musical events throughout Brussels and Wallonia. On Friday the 21st, MetX organised a massive brass battle in the neighbourhood of Les Marolles. Clashing the sounds of AGO! Benin Brass, Les Taupes qui Boivent du Lait, Ander Brass, ‘t Akkoord and Sans Tambour Ni Trompette.

Thanks to participatory projects like MegafoniX, MetX has established itself as one of the key cultural actors in the neighbourhood of Les Marolles. It’s thus with great pleasure we joined forces again with cultural centre CC Bruegel and many other local partners for this year’s Fête de la Musique dans les Marolles.

In the evening we organised a Soirée Orchestrée: 5 brass bands from Brussels and beyond performed together during a genuine brass battle. Featuring AGO! Benin Brass (Benin), Les Taupes qui Boivent du Lait (Brussels), Ander Brass, ‘t Akkoord (Antwerp) and Sans Tambour Ni Trompette (Liège).

 

Our Soirée Orchestrée was part of an entire day programme for la Fête de la Musique dans les Marolles. The event is organised by the Centre Culturel Bruegel, MetX, Some Music, Les Mercredis Artistiques, Les Mignonnettes du quartier Bruegel-Marolles, l’Entraide des Marolles and Axoso Asbl.
