The Kugoni Trio is proof that more than enough exciting new music is being written by our southern neighbours. This young trio with the unique instrumentation of piano, violin and saxophone is a real advocate for its composing countrymen. In this concert they play a brand-new work by Antwerp composer Wim Henderickx and work by four younger colleagues, all of whom went to Belgium to study, in many cases with Henderickx himself.
