Songs for Europe

Sun 25/03/07 - Stars of Europe, a concert to celebrate the 50th
anniversary of the setting up of what is now known as the European
Union, was watched by around 30,000 people in Brussels on Saturday
evening. The concert featured musicians from across Europe. It was
followed by a light show and an impressive firework display, which one
of the evening's two hosts Bart Peeters dedicated to King Albert of
the Belgians.
Cerrone's piece 'Supernature' played as the fireworks filled the skies
around one of Brussels' most famous landmarks, the Atomium.

Bart Peeters told the crowd that he knew that our King enjoys firework
displays "that's why we're dedicating this display to the King of
Europe", the musician and VRT presenter added.

This year's Belgian entry for the Eurovision song contest, the Liège
funk band The KMG's and last year's entry, the Flemish pop singer Kate
Ryan, both strutted their stuff in front on an enthusiastic crowd.

Almost the entire royal family was in attendance with only Prince
Laurent being nowhere to be seen. King Albert especially enjoyed the
performance by the Greek singer Nana Mouskouri.
Concert live on TV

The concert started just after 8:30pm with a performance by the
Italian singer Zucchero, who got the show on the road with his hit
song "Baila Morena"

The show was presented by the VRT's Bart Peeters and Fabienne Vande
Meerssche from the Francophone public broadcaster RTBF.

King Albert and Queen Paola arrived later in the evening, after having
attended a gala diner. Meanwhile, Queen Fabiola and her entourage
enjoyed the concert from the comfort of the V.I.P lounge under the
Atomium.
Artists from across Europe
Artists from across Europe rehearsed hard all day for the concert that
was not only broadcast here in Belgium, but also in 40 other European
countries.

The girls from the world-famous Scala Choir performed, as did groups
such as Hooverphonic, the Gypsy Kings and the Scorpions.

The Flemish singers Helmut Lotti and Axelle Red also sung for Europe.

The show came to an end at about 11:45pm.
