In Brussels, people know Disney songs almost by heart. Far less well known are the Walloon venues that are preparing to host them. With “Candlelight: Disney Love Songs,” the studio’s greatest romantic songs, performed on string instruments by candlelight, are hitting the road for five stops just a stone’s throw from Brussels.
From one city to the next, the program remains the same. The setting, however, changes completely.
On the program: 15 Disney love stories
String instruments reinterpret 15 songs, from “Love Shines Under the Stars” (The Lion King) to “Married Life” (Up). The great classics rub shoulders with more recent hits: “Some Day My Prince Will Come” ( Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs) shares the spotlight with “Dos Oruguitas” (Encanto) and “Don’t Forget Me” (Coco). Beauty and the Beast even gets two tracks. It’s hard not to find a favorite.
Louvain-la-Neuve: the farm that was there before anyone else
Long before the students arrived, the Ferme du Biéreau already stood on the Lauzelle plateau. Purchased by the city in 1977 and then designated a historic site in 1988, the farm was restored, acoustically insulated, and equipped with a stage. The coat of arms of an abbess, still visible on the main building, even provided elements for the coat of arms of Louvain-la-Neuve. The new town therefore owes part of its coat of arms to the farm that it eventually came to surround.

Namur: a cultural center unlike any other
The Delta is housed in Namur’s former Maison de la Culture, inaugurated in 1964 and designed by architect Victor Bourgeois and his collaborators. While its walls have long echoed with applause, they have also witnessed a unique political moment. On November 25, 1974, the Walloon ministers held their first ministerial committee meeting there. Its president, Alfred Califice, hailed the choice as “symbolic” in favor of Namur. Symbolic, no doubt. But also unique: the committee would never meet there again.

Liège: From the Abbey to Crystal
In Seraing, in the province of Liège, the Cistercian Abbey of Val-Saint-Lambert was home to a community of monks for nearly six centuries. After the suppression of religious orders in 1797, it was sold as national property. Its church was destroyed, and the buildings underwent several conversions, including an unsuccessful attempt to turn them into a linen mill.
In 1826, two former employees of the Vonêche glassworks, François Kemlin and Auguste Lelièvre, founded a crystal factory there. The company grew rapidly, and by around 1900, Val-Saint-Lambert had become the world’s largest crystal factory. Today, the former abbey remains an iconic site where eight centuries of religious history and glassmaking expertise converge .

Charleroi and Mons: two venues, two distinct atmospheres
In Charleroi, La Ruche Théâtre Royal was given a new lease on life in 2007, whena handful of theater and music enthusiasts decided to take it over. It’s a venue steeped in history, to which the people of Charleroi remain deeply attached.
In Mons, the Abel Dubois Auditorium is located in the heart of the RTBF building. Renowned for its excellent acoustics and situated next to the Classic 21 studios, it regularly hosts concerts and showcases.
Two venues, two distinct identities: one draws its energy from the loyalty of its audience, the other from the excellence of its acoustics.

Good to know
The concert lasts about 60 minutes . Doors open 45 minutes before the show starts, and it’s best not to dawdle: latecomers will not be admitted. The concert is open to children ages 5 and up, and those under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
Same music, five venues, five stories. All that’s left is to choose which one you’d like to hear it in… and perhaps return just for the venue itself.
