Cluster
Supporting Global Music Artists
In Flanders, an incredibly fascinating, innovative, but still unknown stream of contemporary music is growing for the general public that can no longer be classified under one or two labels. It is the resounding result of a generation of composers who find their way in a very diverse society. No boxes, no taboos, no style restrictions. Just strong, quality and surprising music. Cluster is the collective of these artists. She wants to give this music a full place in the current range of music. Composers and musicians join forces through Cluster.
Stay updated on our global music artists, their inspiring projects, and the work of Cluster.
