Message from DeSingel. We’re moving to the Blue Hall, which alters infrastructure. Financial picture alters slightly. There are openings towards Courtrai and Bozar. Date holds, we’re not moving in time.
This digital journal chronicles the creation process of the musical experience ‘On Moonlight and Rain’, from its inception to the premiere on May 18th 2017. Rather than recounting a hero story, with an uninterrupted string of hooray messages, we’d like to show you what it’s really like to put a big music show together. It involves many dead ends, failures, frustrations and a tremendous amount of confidence that all will be well in the end. Enjoy your read.
