Bozar – Centre for Fine Arts
Rue Ravensteinstraat 23
Since its foundation in 1928, the Palais des Beaux Arts, designed by Victor Horta, has been the setting for concerts that capture the imagination. On 13 December 1930, Igor Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms had its world premiere here during a festival dedicated to the composer. A few years later, in 1936, Arnold Schönberg’s Erwartung was set against a unique backdrop painted by Jean Brusselmans. 11 Dec.’26 - BNO, Chauhan & Brimberg Schönberg, Erwartung
7 Feb.’27 - BNO, Vlaams Radiokoor & Halls Stravinski, Psalmensymfonie
Museumplein · Place du Musée Museumstraat 6
From 1757 onwards, the Palace of Charles of Lorraine was the centre of Brussels’ concert life. Supported by Charles of Lorraine and inspired by Le Concert Spirituel in Paris, the composer and violinist Pieter van Maldere founded the concert society Le Concert Bourgeois. He also travelled throughout Europe with his patron, sharing his ‘Brussels’ music with the international aristocracy. The Palace is only open for specific events. 29 Okt.’26- Les Muffatti & Anthony Romaniuk, Le Concert Bourgeois
Coudenberg Palace Paleizenplein 7
A few storeys below Koningsplein lie the remains of the majestic Coudenberg Palace. The Burgundians and, later, Emperor Charles V ruled from here until a devastating fire in 1731 reduced almost everything to ashes. If you have time, be sure to visit the remains of the 15th-century kitchens and storerooms, and even take a stroll along a cobbled street below ‘street level’! 6 Dec.’26 - Dionysos Now! & ClubMediéval, Renaissancemuziek op de Coudenberg
Royal Conservatory of Brussels Regentschapsstraat 30
This is where young musicians train to become professionals in their field, from oboe and Baroque cello to composition. Former teachers include Eugène Ysaÿe and François Servais, while Ravel conducted his Piano concerto in G major in the concert hall. The prestigious library also houses a collection dedicated to the opera singer Maria Malibran. The monumental building is currently being renovated. 2 Mei’27 - Pierre Fontenelle & Cansu Salidag, Eerbetoon aan Adrien-François Servais 6 June’27 - Sylvia Huang & Jan Michiels Debussy, Lekeu & Ysaÿe
13 June’27 - Gwendoline Blondeel & Marie Datcharry, Herintroductie van prima donna Maria Malibran
Dinantplein Dinantplein
Le Concert Bourgeois held its concerts on this square from 1755 onwards in a small hall known as la petite boucherie. After serving as a synagogue and a People’s House for the Socialist Party, the building was demolished around 1955 during the construction of the city’s North-South connection. 29 Okt.’26 - Les Muffatti & Anthony Romaniuk, Le Concert Bourgeois
