Europalia Romania launches in Belgium

The four month long festival brings together electronic composition and traditional mountain music

Running from 2 October–2 February 2020, the next edition of Belgium’s Europalia international arts festival has a special focus on Romania. Working in collaboration with Romanian music magazine The Attic, Europalia Romania will be presenting concerts by electronic composer Milan Warmoeskerken and The Tulnic Ensemble of Avram Iancu on 3–4 October in Leuven and Brussels respectively. Made up of five women, the ensemble is named after the traditional woodwind instrument from the Transylvanian mountains. At 2.5 metres long, the tulnic was once used as a tool for communicating between mountain village communities. The festival’s 200 attractions also include a rare solo exhibition dedicated to sculptor Constantin Brancusi (1876–1957) at Bozar in Brussels.
