»Our approach to concerts today is curious. We live in an age of noise and stress. Just how much do our bodies and minds suffer from all these stimuli at the start of the 21st century? And then we transport ourselves 200 years back in time to listen to music and sounds that come from a completely different acoustic and psychological context.« – Jan Caeyers
