Valgeir Sigurðsson x Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe x Elisabeth Klinck present 'ISABELLE LEWIS'
In 2023, the triumvirate of Valgeir Sigurðsson, Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe and Elisabeth Klinck completely floored us at our outdoor festival Feeërieën. Detail: by 'us' we mean a 2000-strong audience that expressed their appreciation through a standing ovation. Another detail: backstage we immediately forged a pact with the sweaty musicians to continue supporting this wonderful project - together with B-Classic - into the future.
Next, countertenor, director and performer Benjamin Abel Meirhaeghe and violinist Elisabeth Klinck (see also a.o. Miet Warlop's 'One Song') headed for Iceland. There, they worked in the studio of Icelandic producer and composer Valgeir Sigurðsson (see also: Björk, Feist, Damon Albarn, ...) on an album that will see the light of day in autumn 2024 on the renowned label Bedroom Community.
The project has since been given a name: Isabelle Lewis, a fictional character who embodies their collective musical spirit, a nostalgic shapeshifter with three faces, each embodying a unique sound world. Musically, they bring their alienating pop close with classical influences, spherical melancholy and an operatic pulse. They are radical in their style and new perspectives always seem to unfold in their spherical landscapes. The poetic and mysterious lyrics, Meirhaeghe's high operatic notes, Sigurdsson's sophisticated electronics, Klinck's musical finesse and their charismatic performance make this collaboration an absolute must-see.
This production came about with the support of the Belgian federal government's Tax Shelter measure, Gallop Tax shelter, B-Classic and the New Urban.
