Les 4 Sens
Hanna Al-Bender, soprano
Samuel Desguin, bariton
Ruben Goriely, tenor
Violette Schloesing, mezzo-alto
The members of Les 4 Sens sang together for the first time in February 2024 as part of their chamber music class at ARTS2 (the Royal Conservatory of Mons). Their collaboration quickly yields good results, and they immediately achieve the highest distinction in their first exam. They then develop a program around 20th-century music that combines movement and expression, with the aim of highlighting the richness of this repertoire.
