Description

On the first anniversary of the Brussels attacks there will be an interfaith concert in Saint John the Baptist Church in Molenbeek. Concertmaster Dirk Seghers tells us "the idea is to let citizens of Brussels sing together as a testimony of cohesion and their support for all the victims."
For the most part, the performers are not professionals but dedicated amateurs. Rayan, a Molenbeek youth who developed his talents through a local youth club will sing his version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. A group of women from the Dar Al Amal women's house will preform both Christian and Islamic music. Voces Desuper, a professional choir and the official choir of the Brussels Cathedral, will sing 20th century sacred and sacred-inspired music, and choir Al-Wassîla, part of a Sufi brotherhood will sing authentic Sufi songs.
