Sunday Morning Concerts is a concert series in the intimate setting of the AB Salon. Music is the focal point, in peaceful surroundings and with rapt attention. Enjoy a warm moment to listen, slow down and discover new sounds.

Violinist and composer Elisabeth Klinck and double bassist Nils Vermeulen present their new duo album Pioen (blickwinkel) in concert. Their music stems from the act of listening and a physical approach to sound, at the intersection of improvisation, composition and acoustic investigation.

Klinck is based in Brussels and known for her tactile, fragile soundscapes. Her albums Picture a Frame and Chronotopia (selected by The Quietus as one of the best albums of 2025) were released by Hallow Ground. In 2025, she was hailed one of Klara’s De Twintigers (a recognition for promising voices within Belgian classical music).

Vermeulen operates between free improvisation, jazz & contemporary music and has worked with the likes of William Parker and Paul Lytton. As an artistic researcher affiliated with the KASK & Conservatory Ghent, he explores the acoustic possibilities of the double bass, including through homemade gut strings.

Pioen was recorded in a small convent chapel located in the centre of Ghent. The silence and intimacy of the space form the musical fibre, therein sound and silence are woven and the voice appears organically as an extension of violin and double bass.
