DAS HAUS presents Charlotte Schoeters and Aya Suzuki ‘TO THE RIVER’

We’re back! DAS HAUS season 5 flows straight in with sound, sofas and connection — music born from rivers will find its human voice and flood the room with the raw pulse of percussion. Come drift, breathe, and surrender to this current of classical tradition colliding artistic instinct.

Rivers don’t ask, they take you. They pull you into ancient and present stories of love, loss, and transformation.TO THE RIVER gives in to that timeless, tidal pull of emotion and memory. This concert, shaped by composer and vocalist Charlotte Schoeters, becomes a sonic odyssey where her unique musical language whispers intimacy with operatic intensity. With percussionist Aya Suzuki beside her, the music moves from subtle ripples to roaring floods — shimmering melodies and shifting rhythms that change course like water. Beneath it all drifts Philip Glass’s Águas da Amazônia, an undercurrent guiding their own compositions and improvisations into one sweeping stream.

Charlotte Schoeters is a Belgian singer and composer who refuses to be boxed in. A classically trained soprano from the Royal Academy of Music in London, she has opened for Warhaus, performed as her alter ego Charl Telosqa, recorded at Abbey Road Studios, and sung with Collegium Vocale Gent. Known for her genre-crossing style and expressive performance, her voice spans centuries but always lands in the now.

Tokyo-born, Brussels-based, Aya Suzuki is a percussionist and composer who has become a bold voice in Europe’s experimental scene. A prize student of Keiko Abe, she has shaken stages with marimba, drums, and objects turned into theatre. Her debut on the KRAAK label opened a new delta of sound; with Zonzo Compagnie and Needcompany, she keeps shaping what music can be.

Season 5 is here, and this river is carrying us somewhere new. Come sit close, and flow with us.
