🥞🍽This week, some of our Belgian staff shared a very Belgian tradition with their colleagues: they cooked some delicious pancakes and surprised them with it!

La "chandeleur", "lichtmis" or "candlemas" is celebrated in many families in Belgium on the 2nd of February. This very ancient tradition was meant to ensure a good harvest. During Roman times, the celebrations, including processions and candle lighting, were dedicated to the God Pan. It was christianised later in the 5th century, commemorating the presentation of Jesus to the temple. Today, processions, candles and street celebrations have disappeared but on that day, many families still bake and eat these delicious pancakes.

🎶 In Belgium, music is honored throughout this "Belgian music week". The perfect opportunity to discover or rediscover our 🇧🇪black yellow red musical talents. We are fortunate to welcome in Bangkok the talented clarinetist Roeland Hendrikx who will perform a.o. Mozart Clarinet Concerto this Saturday, accompanied by the Royal Bangkok Symphony Orchestra at @ThailandCulturalCenter. There are still places available. For more information, click .⤵️

Concerto in A major is the by far the greatest work composed for the instrument, and a leading Belgian clarinet player of the present day will join the Royal Bangkok Symphony Orchestra and Dutch conductor Sander Teepen to perform this timeless masterpiece. Roeland Hendrikx has appeared as clarinet soloist with, amongst others, the Belgium National Orchestra, The Flemish Symphony Orchestra, the Beethoven Academy, the Flemish Radio Orchestra, the Limberg Symphonic Orchestra, the Georgia Philharmonic, the Symphonic Orchestra of Lithuania, and the Philharmonia Orchestra of Hagen.

In October 2018, EPR Classic released his recording of the Mozart, Finzi, and Bruch concertos with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. The Belgian Newspaper De Standaard praised this recording as “outstanding… a barrel full of listening pleasure.” According to the authoritative French magazine Diapason, he has it all: “… accuracy, lyricism, elegance.”

Sander Teepen was initially an oboist with the The Hague Philharmonic Orchestra, South Netherlands Philharmonic, The Gelders Orchestra, The Brabants Orchestra, and the Limburg Symphonic Orchestra, before becoming a conductor. In 2018/2019 he debuted at the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, the Dutch Student Chamber Orchestra, the Slovak State Philharmonic Orchestra Košice, and has been guest conductor at The Hague Philharmonic Orchestra, the Metropole Orchestra, the South Netherlands Philharmonic, the Banatul Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Divadlo Antonina Opera House Dvoraka Ostrava. He has also been appointed assistant conductor at The Netherlands Radio Philharmonic Orchestra.

Beginning and ending with two of Beethoven’s most rousing orchestral scores, this is a Classical period concert of considerable charm.
