I have had the privilege and pleasure to watch the Arte Amanti Festival flourish and expand over the years and am always so impressed with the hard work and efforts of Reinilde Leyers and her team. From impeccable organisation to attention to detail, creative programmation and an impressive array of great musicians from around the world, I strongly believe that the Arte Amanti Festival is extremely enriching for the Belgian chamber music scene. I always had great fun performing at the festival, discovering new beautiful hidden venues in Flanders, receiving such a warm welcome from the Festival team and audiences alike and having the chance to play wonderful music with great friends and colleagues. I only wish the Arte Amanti International Chamber Music Festival a long and fruitful continuation and look forward to seeing what the future will bring!
