Citadelic festival 2023
MAY 29 - 18H MAIN STAGE
ensemble in residence
Citadel Improv Strays Ensemble #01 (BE)
first outing
Ensemble vzw & Citadelic offer a residency to musicians during the period of the Citadelic Festival at the old Dierenasiel in the park. The choice is to take more unusual, but strong young musical characters and put them with young improvisors.
For this first edition we give asylum to Naomi Sijmons and Iskander Moens. Stan Maris is used to sail the improv sea and he'll team up to make this trio strong.
Naomi Sijmons is of course the daughter of the late Fons Sijmons (... Scabs), millionaire and peels in various bands such as Reena Riot. She is also the voice coach of many singing talents.
Talented Iskander Moens is a young musician in his twenties who studied composition at the conservatory of Ghent with Dirk Brossé. At the age of 17 he already won the Oost-Best competition (now called Sound-track) with the formation Hyper and ended up in the semi-finals of Humo's Rockrally with César Quin. He is active in different musical scenes of classical, pop and jazz. To give you an exemple, he was commissioned a work inspired by Van Eyck's Ghent Altarpiece for 4 voices and accordion and got particularly inspired by the figure of Elisabeth Borluut. This was then performed by Dionysos Now! by Tore Tom Denys and the fantastic accordionist Philippe Thuriot.
