E Check out this graffiti @Lammerstraat, photo by Anke Sanders ghent.inyourpocket.com Culture & events Ghent, UNESCO City of Music When visiting Ghent, you might be tempted to dance instead of walk down the streets, as the city simply oozes music. It comes as no surprise then, that in June of 2009, UNESCO appointed Ghent that year’s ‘City of Music’. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization judged Ghent the winning city based on a list of criteria including its centres of musical creation and activity, its musical festivals and events, the promotion of the music industry, its music schools etc. In fact, long before the UNESCO nod, Ghent had been considered a well-established centre for music with a rich tradition. For one, the city boasts an impressive number of concert halls: Concert Hall De Bijloke (classical music), Capitole (musicals), Flanders Expo (concert & event hall), Kuipke (concert and event hall), Handelsbeurs (world music, jazz, singer-songwriters etc.), Kunstencentrum Vooruit (major travelling (international) productions), De Vlaamse Opera (opera house), Intercultural Centre ‘de Centrale (world music) to name but a few. Furthermore, local and international young artists are enabled and encouraged to develop their interest and career in music thanks to education facilities such as Ghent’s School of Arts, and research centres. Besides this, different organizations, including the Federation of Music Festivals in Flanders (FMiV) and the European Festivals Association (EFA) back the city’s musical ambitions. The proof of Ghent’s musical efforts is in the pudding. Simply glancing over the city’s rich pop and rock scene, with over 600 pop and rock bands, proves they pay off: artists such as Soulwax, Sioen, 2Many DJ’s, An Pierlé, Arid, Das Pop, and Gabriel Rios call the city their musical home. Important musical promoters based in Ghent are Democrazy and Kinky Star. Spectra, Logos and collegium vocale are just a few examples of Ghent’s flourishing classical and contemporary music scene. Ghent also contributes to the world of musical theatre. LOD, for instance, is an important production and development centre for (contemporary) music. Finally, Ghent’s opera house stages many national and international productions, and in former movie theatre, the Capitole, musicals are produced and presented. Ghent supports many musical genres through a variety of festivals. The Festival of Flanders (14-28/9/2013) in the heart of the city is a wonderful example of Ghent’s celebration of music. The International Film Festival Ghent (8-19/2013) has a special emphasis on film music and organises film music concerts during which composers such as Ennio Morricone, Howard Shore, Hans Zimmer, and Maurice Jarre have taken the stage. Since 2001, the Film Festival Gent has also been organising the World Soundtrack Awards, the most prestigious soundtrack awards in the world. Jazz in Ghent is alive and kicking too. Ghent’s many jazz cafés and clubs and its annual July Ghent Jazz festival attest to that. The ‘Gentse Feesten’ or ‘Ghent (City) Festivities’, is a yearly tradition: every July the city is alive with concerts, parties etc for ten days. There are also numerous smaller festivals throughout the year, catering to everyone, from jazz lovers to classical music buffs. So if you’ve got the music in you, Ghent is the place to be!
