Soul Ableta invites alejandra borzyk

Soul Ableta Improvisation Classical Experimental

A new immersion into Brussels’ jazz, impro, and experimental scene, led by a key figure in the city’s musical landscape. Through numerous projects (Bodies, TREMOR, Civil Status feat. Diogo Alexandre, I’m Not Done Cooking, Sound of Brussels Orchestra), as well as collaborations and curated events with artists like Adèle Viret, Lucia Pires, and Aquiles Navarro, Alejandra plays an active role in shaping the local scene - also engaging in grassroots initiatives such as Sala Bagaço.

This show takes the form of a sonic capsule, where Alejandra was invited to build a tracklist reflecting their projects, the Brussels impro/jazz scene, their classical influences, and personal inspirations - interwoven with live improvisations and anecdotes.
