A Closer Talk

'A Closer Talk' starts where the documentary 'Bring it to the People' ended. In these informal interview series, we invite captivating personalities with a love for music and a connection to Brussels Jazz Orchestra. A Closer Talk about music, life and everything else around it.

In the first episode, Betty Vanlangendonck (press and communication officer for BJO) welcomed Stéphane Godfroid, a journalist with a degree in musicology who made the transformation to successful entrepreneur. Watch the episode through our Facebook page or listen to the podcast.

As an art consultant, she provides cultural organisations with all kinds of advice. Since 2018, she's a member of the board of directors of BJO.
