In 2019, the MELCHIOR project was presented, whose objective is to gather, digitize and make available to the general public documents related to the musical and dance heritage of Wallonia. A great way to showcase our local culture through its hidden treasures.
The different dance/concert spaces are called LEJEUNE, SCHMITZ, MELCHIOR and CHARNEUX.
