Experience Thomas Champagne live on December 19th

Thomas Champagne will be performing a concert at Freinetschool De Appeltuin in Leuven, Belgium on December 19, 2026. Champagne is a French composer and multi-instrumentalist known for his experimental and largely instrumental music. His style blends elements of post-rock, ambient, and neoclassical music, often incorporating field recordings and unconventional instrumentation to create atmospheric and emotionally resonant soundscapes. He frequently utilizes guitar, piano, and electronic processing in his compositions.

Freinetschool De Appeltuin is an independent primary school in Leuven founded in 1983. It operates based on the pedagogical principles of Célestin Freinet, a French educator. Key characteristics of the school include a focus on cooperative learning, free expression through various media (including writing and visual arts), and individualized learning paths tailored to each student’s needs. The school emphasizes practical experience and connection to the surrounding community. De Appeltuin regularly hosts cultural events, often leveraging its spaces for artistic expression and engagement with local artists – making it an unusual venue for a concert but consistent with its educational philosophy. The school building itself is situated within a garden environment reflecting its name ("Appeltuin" translates to "Apple Orchard").
