Fasten Seat Belts ! brochure

“I constantly have sounds in my head,” said Luc Brewaeys. He would then write them down with the utmost precision — directly from his mind onto the score — after which they came to life in the concert hall.

​

In the publication Fasten Seat Belts!, the focus is on Brewaeys’ symphonic music, his love of the orchestra, and his unique musical language. The overwhelming opera L’uomo dal fiore in bocca is also discussed, and Annelies Van Parys offers insight into her completion of Symphony No. 8.

​

Testimonies from musicians who worked closely with the composer run as a common thread throughout the book. Fasten Seat Belts! is published by MATRIX [Centre for New Music] on behalf of the Luc Brewaeys Foundation.

​

The book is available for purchase at most concert venues in Flanders and Brussels.
