Liège cultural life of the 1980s
MusicAs the grand finale to this journey across the 1980s, the 2012 Art&fact offers a retrospective look at the forms of Liège music, musicians and musical institutions. It is not surprising that this involves jazz, operas, symphonic music, contemporary music, etc. Names such as Jean-Pol Schroeder, Henri Pousseur, Pierre Bartholomée, Georges-Elie Octors, Philippe Boesmans, Raymond Rossius, Steve Houben, Garett List, Fabrizio Cassol and so many others who, in their various respective areas of activity, defended loud and clear the musical art in a city historically reputed for it. And finally institutions – first and foremost the Liège Philharmonic Orchestra (OPL) and the Walloon Royal Opera (ORW) – which, faced at regular intervals with financial difficulties, nevertheless strive to maintain a quality programme. Julie Bawin, a Doctor of History of Art and a teacher-researcher at the University of Liège, and Jean-Patrick Duchesne, Professor of the history of the art of the modern era and Director of Art&fact, have together assumed the academic management of the 2012 delivery of the journal Art&fact, called Les années 1980 à Liège. Art et culture. Elegantly illustrated and with great attention paid to the finishing touches, this publication presented in the form of a genuine work has benefited from a great number of authors who, each in their own way, have given an account of the artistic and literary richness of the decade under consideration. As for Marie-Sophie Degard, also an art historian, she has been the lynchpin of the organising and scheduling of the ensemble of texts brought together in this volume. |
