The LEDEBIRDS are 15 years young and celebrating!

The Ledebirds are a good-humoured creative collective. Their orchestra caters to musicians from Ledeberg and the surrounding area and is conducted by Mattias Laga. At home in all genres, these birds whistle music from all over the world. With exciting projects, brimming with enthusiasm and a large arsenal of musicians, singers and instruments, they blow the evening to unprecedented heights. For this starting shot of the festive year and their 15-year anniversary, they are assisted, stewarded and reinforced by none other than master arranger and improviser Bart Maris as well as Dutch saxophonist Edward Capel.

Rose Wylie enjoys international recognition today as a major figurative painter. Her extensive oeuvre depicts subjects from literature, cinema, mythology and celebrity culture, among others. Attracted by an 'honest' language, the artist draws on clichéd as well as forgotten and overlooked visual and narrative traditions. She interweaves this broad knowledge of cultural production with observations and memories that evoke a youthful wonder for the everyday.

S.M.A.K. is once again showing artworks from the Matthys-Colle collection. The current exhibition is an imaginary portrait of Marc De Cock, the former president of the Society of the Friends. He can safely be called one of the inspirers of S.M.A.K. Discover how works by Berlinde de Bruyckere, Bruce Nauman and Gilbert & George, among others, depict his person and commitment.
