Ambiorix Square in Brussels will come alive with the enchanting Moomin Parade on 10 May to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Tove Jansson's Moomin stories.

This public event organised by the Association des Commerçants Carrefour Jean Monnet (ACCJM) invites families and individuals of all ages to join in the festivities.

It kicks off in the square at 13.00 and continues until 17.30. Visitors can immerse themselves in the whimsical world of Moomins through a variety of activities.

Our April concert’s first work is an exceptional rarity, a choral fantasy by a composer who studied at the Leipzig music school where Bach would later become director.  It is based on an ancient Easter hymn that the Cantor would use in one of his earliest cantatas.  Twenty-five years later, at the height of his compositional powers, Bach would write today’s brilliant second Easter offering.
