BRUSSELS
Continued from Page B-1 for Sunday at the Church of the Resurrection in Burtonsville. “Last year, we had a concert series — we had concerts about once a month — called ‘Americans in Paris,’ and we did a variety of French [songs],” said Kanter-St. Hubert, who is the musical director at the Church of the Resurrection. “It went well … and I thought I wanted to do the same thing, but for my home country, for Belgium.” The concert will feature local musicians playing songs relating to Belgium. Amy Horn is set to play the French horn, which was used in the Ardennes during hunting season. Declan Keenan, a young musician from Ireland, will play the guitar and KanterSt. Hubert will not only conduct the music during the show, she will sing several selections by Brel. The concert will also feature other musicians and choirs. “Jacques Brel, to me, his biggest strength is the quality of his poetry,” Kanter-St. Hubert said. “… It’s also not always easy to find pieces that can be done by a woman. A lot of them … it’s a man speaking. There are a few that I’ve always liked.”

Following the concert, which starts at 7 p.m., performers will be available to answer questions from the audience. There will be a light reception following the show. Kanter-St. Hubert hopes to be able to provide a little taste of home as well. “I met today, by chance, a woman who … has a little truck and she sells [Belgian] waffles, but they’re the real thing,” Kanter-St. Hubert said. “There are several kinds of [Belgian] waffles. [These are] called the waffles from Liege because it has a special chunky sugar. She just started this business — her fam-
ily is from Belgium and I always thought it would be something … In Belgium, when you’re walking around the streets, you get people who sell those waffles just like hot dogs here. They sell those special waffles on the spot and they’re nice and warm.” Kanter-St. Hubert said the goal of the concert is just to broaden people’s concepts of Belgium — from food and drink to the fine arts. “I would like people to discover my country,” Kanter-St. Hubert said. “You know, some of its history and, as the title says, kind of go beyond just chocolates and beer and what they know. There’s a lot of history and a lot of art. I’m hoping to give them a glimpse of what Belgium is about.”
