BOI AKIH - Händels Messiah

An idiosyncratic, yet respectful reinterpretation of Handel's famous oratorio from 1741. Just as Handel was inspired by the soloists and their expression, BOI AKIH brings an innovative version with their unique line-up: seven-string guitar, viola, kora and voice. The combination of these special string instruments creates a beautiful soundscape, on which Monica Akihary's warm and flexible voice breathes new life into the classic texts.

With boundless curiosity, BOI AKIH has been exploring new musical paths for over twenty-five years. Guitarist and composer Niels Brouwer and singer Monica Akihary, winner of the Boy Edgar Prize 2023, form the core of this ensemble, which knows how to surprise on international stages time and again.
