Abel Baeck received his master’s degree in composition in Antwerp. He specialises in electronic dance music within genres such as garage, drum and bass, house and techno. Under the stage name NO LABEL, he brings together his electronic experiments in a live set or DJ performance. He feels at home both in a club and on a theatre stage. Abel is closely involved with the SOCHA collective and performed in the KVS season opener HANNIBAL.
Soprano and MM Academy member Hanna Al-Bender sang in the Children’s Choir of Opera Ballet Vlaanderen and studied at the Lemmens Institute and the IMEP (Namur). She performed in productions by Muziektheater Transparant, among others, and can be heard on albums with the ensemble Scherzi Musicali. Together with lutenist and theorbist Justin Glaie, she will string together baroque gems by Monteverdi, Francesca Caccini and Constantijn Huygens.
