WÖR Concert

WÖR (pronounced ‘were’) is a band of five musicians whose curiosity, passion and talent has led to a niche goldmine of melodies in stunning contemporary arrangements. With their finely textured arrangements, WÖR injects new energy into 18th-century melodies from the Flanders region of Belgium. Their music shines an inventive spotlight, with a modern twist, on the melodies in these manuscripts.

They released 3 albums ('Back to the 1780's' (2015), 'Sssht' (2017) and 'About Towers' (2021) and toured in Europe, Australia, Canada & the US (including the National Folk Festival, Musikfestspiele Potsdam Sanssouci, Concertgebouw Brugge, Sunfest, Shetland Folk Festival).

In August 2018, they won the German award 'Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik' with their album 'Sssht'. In 2021, they were nominated for 'Best Live Band' at the Flemish Folk Awards and their album ‘About Towers’ made it into the ‘World Music Charts Europe’.
