PROGRAM
Friday evening, November 29, KOPPIÉCASSIE performs live
The band KOPPIÉCASSIE features Pedro Bakker on keyboard alongside his talented grandsons Lucas Bakker (15) on saxophone and Kobe Bakker (13) on drums. Although Lucas and Kobe are from Ghent—born and raised there—they spend their holidays in Friesland, where the band name was born during playful jam sessions mixing jazz music and football.
The rising star of the Dutch and Belgian jazz scene is Lucas, who won the prestigious Princess Christina Jazz Competition in 2023 and was recently featured at Pop & Jazz Hilversum. On KOPPIÉCASSIE’s live demo, you can hear tracks like Remember Fela Kuti by the Afrobeat Academy—where drummer Kobe Bakker also shines. Kobe is developing his skills as a percussionist on the drum pad and has performed in numerous concerts with Lucas, including the New Year's Concert of the Nederlands Blazers Ensemble at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam in 2023. When they’re not performing on stage, the duo can often be spotted as street musicians in Ghent.
During KOPPIÉCASSIE’s performance, Pedro Bakker and writer/co-screenwriter Liesje Schreuders will present their film project Hé Blauwtje (working title), which delves into Lucebert’s wartime years and the period that followed up to 1950.
Afterward, dance at 45 RPM in the society hall with Vic van de Reijt and Ron Tebbens.
Rock 'n Roll – Beat – Soul – Disco – New Wave, but also French, Italian, and Surinamese Flemish vibes!

This special event will weave together visual art and music in a unique interplay, guiding visitors through the emotions of grief and release. It promises to be an evening of gentle comfort, where grief is embraced with the softness of a cloud.
aZIEL / Final Exhibition of the De Blikopener 23/24 Program
I am pleased to invite you to the final exhibition of 'De Blikopener 23-24', a celebration of both artistic and personal growth under the expert guidance of Francis Kilian. Along with my fellow participants, I will present works that are the fruits of a year of learning, experimenting, and transforming.
This exhibition will showcase a diverse array of creations, from paintings to multimedia installations, each telling a unique story of development and self-discovery. The program, led by the inspiring Francis Kilian, has helped us to broaden our artistic horizons and find our inner creative voice.
The final exhibition will be curated by Lyske Gais and promises to be an engaging and immersive experience. Lyske's unique vision and curatorial skills bring our works together in a cohesive whole that beautifully represents our individual and joint journeys.
I look forward to welcoming you.
