On June 6, 2026, Leuven, Belgium, will host a concert presenting the album "OLD FRIEND" by the Dominique Vantomme Quartet, featuring French harmonica virtuoso Laurent Maur. This release marks the first recorded milestone of a 25-year musical collaboration and friendship between pianist Dominique Vantomme and Laurent Maur. The album was recorded in a single day in Antwerp alongside double bassist Werner Lauscher and drummer Domenico Verderame to capture the spontaneity and energy of live performance. The repertoire consists of original compositions by the quartet members and two uniquely arranged covers, blending jazz freedom with classical finesse.
