East-West Ensemble
The East-West Ensemble plays traditional music originating in the West and the East, as well as music stemming from everywhere in between. The melodies are learned by ear in a structured manner while we explore the typical style in which they are played, their ornaments and their accompaniments. We focus on the way we perform together as a group, arranging the pieces ans improvising while mixing elements from different traditions. At the end of the year we present the repertoire in various concerts.
The ensemble is led by flautist Juliette Ferreira, specialising in folk music from Europe such as France, Ireland, Estonia … but also Balkan music and Scandinavia!
For whom?
The apprenticeship is open to all instruments. We request that you have a couple of years experience in playing your instrument. For instruments that will be in charge of the accompanyment, we require a basic knowledge of chords, harmony. Please be so kind as to get in touch with us at cursus@muziekpublique.be if you have any doubts or questions.
After classical training at the conservatories of Strasbourg, Brussels, and Antwerp, Juliette juggles contemporary music projects, orchestral replacements, teaching, and a variety of concerts inspired by traditional music from many countries (Western and Eastern Europe, Brazil, etc.).
Playing both the flute and the piccolo, she seeks to deepen her mastery of these different styles, drawing inspiration from jazz, various styles of improvisation, various workshops, and the creations of artists of her generation.
She performs regularly with her Ensemble Vasistas, her folk duo Les Kickeuses, and her Arabic fusion quintet Fousai Fousaa.
