Alard is a French classical guitarist known for his interpretations of both standard repertoire and lesser-known works, often focusing on the Romantic and contemporary periods. His style is frequently described as lyrical and expressive, demonstrating technical precision alongside a sensitive musicality. He frequently programs works by composers like Villa-Lobos, alongside transcriptions and original compositions.

Oostkerk (East Church) is a prominent historical building in Middelburg, originally constructed as a Lutheran church between 1648 and 1656. Following periods of use by various Protestant denominations, it underwent significant restoration in the late 20th century. The building is notable for its Renaissance architectural style and its large organ, built by Flentrop Orgelbouw in 1967, which has been extensively renovated since. Oostkerk currently serves as a cultural venue hosting concerts and other events while maintaining its function as a place of worship within the Protestant Church in the Netherlands. Its acoustics are considered well-suited for chamber music and solo instrumental performances due to the building’s size and design.
