Sound Images Festival

Every year, the Centre Henri Pousseur presents its Festival Images Sonores, dedicated to mixed music, the sound universe where acoustic sounds enter into an exciting dialogue with their electronic extension. During this festival, several concerts and presentations, resulting from the activities carried out by the Centre Henri Pousseur in the fields of educational research, are offered in Liège, Brussels and other cities of the Federation. Cultural houses and surprising places form the stage for a wide spectrum of musical creations, performances and transdisciplinary encounters, allowing a wide audience to participate in a relaxed and open way in today’s artistic expression.
