The VUB Orchestra will tour Brussels and Flanders this autumn with the concert series Trek.
Migration is timeless; for centuries, animals and humans have migrated across our shared globe. Sometimes it’s a challenging journey to better or safer places, sometimes it's just a desire for greener pastures on the other side. In 2005, our concert series Grenzeloos reflected our hope that humanity would be better organized this way. Today, sadly, it seems that Homo Homini Lupus is increasingly winning over Amor Mundi. With our autumn concerts, we aim to let love for the world prevail. Through music and spoken word, we reflect on the promise of a new future beyond the horizon, or even further into the infinite universe.
