Salut Sonart

The Sonartstudio’s, built in 1937, will soon disappear forever. These world-renowned studio’s had a prominent role in the history of the public broadcasting service from the early 60’s until the 1974, when the current VRT moved her activities to the Reyerslaan. When the modern productions had outgrown the facilities of Flagey, the world class studio’s of Woluwe-Saint-Pierre were restored to their proper use. Legendary Jazz Concerts, endless spectacular shows and theatre footage was recorded in these rooms. In 1994 the Sonart building offered space and leeway to the student of the RITS audiovisual department (Now called RITCS). Today the original studio’s still exist, but they won’t last much longer. In a couple of years the entire structure will be rebuilt to serve as a boarding school for carnies and bargees`children. Before the largest and most beautiful studio of Sonart is transformed into a dormitory, we honour it’s rich past by revisiting and reliving history one last time. A worthy send off for a majestic building. Flowers nor whorls! Refreshments offer comfort. Everyone is invited.
