It's in the air
Free'Sons teenage choir conducted by C. Debu. Admission by hat. Bar and pastries at the interval. First name? Free'Sons! Last name? Clac'Sons! The ‘Free'Sons’ youth choir is in fact part of the ‘Clac'Sons’ children's choir family, which was born in September 2016 under the enthusiastic impetus of Emilie Van Laethem and Arianne Plangar, both singers, choirmasters and music teachers.
The ‘Free'Sons’ group, directed by Catherine Debu, has around forty singers who meet in Floreffe every Friday to rehearse. The repertoire is varied, in French and English, and occasionally explores rhythms from elsewhere and other languages. Movement plays an important part in the choir's work.
Having sung about sounds, dreams, the world, time, art and culture, and different styles, this year Les Clac'Sons are offering a programme that makes you want to look upwards, entitled ‘C'est dans l'air’. So, are you ready to take off with them? To follow their adventures: https://www.facebook.com/clacsons

Event Host Building
Saint Philip
The church is listed classically under the patronage of he who gave his name to the town: Philip. The building, which has undergone several alterations, is made up of three naves and five bays. Mainly due to the half-light it has an atmosphere of peace and devotion.
The decor is sober. The high altar and its bas-relief are particularly noteworthy. Above the altar in the left nave is the altarpiece of the Virgin Mary, a copy of a painting attributed to Giovanni Cimabue. There is another interesting painting on the left wall of the central nave: The apparition of Mary to Saint Bernadin attributed to Gasper De Craeyer.
The stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes are the work of Camille Ganton.
Inside there are numerous tombstones of which that of Martin Colbert, killed at the battle of Walcourt, the son of the great Colbert , Louis XIV’s minister. It’s in the wall of the right nave.
