Since this concert is the end of our day-long wine-tour, I thought it would be fun to program colourful and entertaining music from wine-producing countries. But before we go completely oenophile, let’s start with some boisterous 16th century dances from Belgium, a land known for its great beers. A Stella Artois anyone?
