Flat Earth Society: The Coltrane Mutations
About the event
The Flat Earth Society Orchestra (FES) represents Belgian eccentricity worldwide. Tonight, they do so in a unique tribute to John Coltrane, the iconic musician who would have turned 100 in 2026. Tribute The Coltrane Mutations is typical FES: unique, astute, and fearless. With their own arrangements and interpretations of Coltrane classics, plus completely new compositions infected by the Trane virus. John Coltrane would have turned 100 in 2026. With four concerts, we are honoring a legendary innovator who also created memorable evenings at The Concertgebouw in the 1960s. Jazz and pop music It goes without saying that The Concertgebouw and jazz & pop music make a perfect combination. The stages of both the Main Hall and the Recital Hall have borne witness to nearly the whole of jazz history. Sarah Vaughan and Ella Fitzgerald have both performed here, as have Miles Davis and Louis Armstrong. Famous pop stars and bands that have graced the stage of the Main Hall include Frank Zappa, the Doors and the Eagles, to name but a few. Legendary concerts, in the present as well as the past.
