To Love

To Love is a musical fairy tale by composer Philippe Lamouris and writer Rozemarijn Vanwijnsberghe for two-part children's choir—or other soprano and alto voices—with digital orchestral accompaniment. In sound and image, it tells of discovering the breath that lives in everything: an invitation to become still, listen, find one another and choose love.

Created for the multicultural children's choir of Sint-Jan Berchmanscollege in Antwerp, the project reaches across generations and borders. Following its world premiere in Antwerp, Belgium, on 26 April 2026, it was also performed in Poland. Further performances are being prepared in Benin, France and Spain.

Amid war, polarisation and loneliness, To Love offers a hopeful statement about connection, boundless loving relationships and peace. Children stand at its centre as ambassadors of that possible future, while the work invites people of every age and background to help give it form. The premiere is dedicated to Jola Ratajczak, whose work created lasting cultural exchanges between young musicians in Belgium, Poland and beyond.
