Gaston Knosp: The vocal soul of a Belgian musician found

May 8 2026 12:30

Composer, poet, ethnomusicologist and great traveler, Gaston Knosp (1874-1942) traveled the world guided by a musical curiosity without limits. Pupil of Massenet, friend and biographer of Puccini, fine connoisseur of the musics of Japan as much as those of Congo, he remains a figure unknown and unclassifiable of the Belgian musical history. This concert, the result of Francesco Nocco’s Master 2 internship at the Bibliothèque du Conservatoire royal de Bruxelles on the Gaston Knosp collection, invites you to discover the unsuspected wonders of this musician through vocal music.
