The cultural center is especially proud that it also provides a platform for many local associations and artists. “We consider that local talent to be at least as important as the talent of Flanders or even more broadly. We really try to give people locally the opportunity to perform here in the cultural center,” says Ann-Sofie Beun, director of Leisure Time.
Luc Note, conductor of the Royal Municipal Harmony, was also on the stage of the cultural center 25 years ago. Then with the Millenium Big Band to open the center. “Today we are 25 years later and with my musicians I have played the same genre as then: from Vera Lynn to Lady Linn. It was really fantastic work,” says Note.
