Exceptional opportunity to experience the juxtaposition of history and the future: exclusive venue, historic interior, never used for “party” purposes before – unless its period as the Red Academy training communist party leaders does not count as such.

After the great concert in 2008 of LOW Dutch-Flemish Cultural Festival in Budapest, Capilla Flamenca comes back to give a concert again in the Váci utca Church and in the city of Győr.

Capilla Flamenca is a Flemish ensemble specializing in both vocal & instrumental music of the Low Countries in the "Golden Age" of around 1500. Their name is borrowed from Emperor Charles V's court chapel. When the emperor left Flanders in 1517, he took his best musicians with him to Spain to accompany him as "living polyphony".

The Flemish star choreographer Wim Vandekeybus has been fascinating his audiences for many years with his rapid and feisty dance style. His pieces are highly vivacious and so incomparable till today that so far no one has managed to copy or imitate him. Vandekeybus stands for action and virtuosity, always combined with powerful contents.
