Brussels Philharmonic
As a symphony orchestra that has been in existence since 1935, we cherish our rich history. At the same time, we welcome the opportunities that lie in the future, and join tradition to a taste for renewal. Our home venue, the Flagey building, serves as a solid base from which to carry out all our activities in Brussels, Flanders and beyond.
Thanks to the virtuosity of our musicians, we are a flexible orchestra with a highly diverse repertoire:
from the romantic to the contemporary, from conceptual music to film music, from the great classics to unexpected cross-overs. Both established artists and new talent find in the orchestra an enthusiastic partner for the most varied musical projects.
Offering the chance to discover a wide range of old and new forms of ‘classical’ music, putting the orchestra forward both literally and figuratively, in a variety of environments, making links to other art forms: these are but a few of the types of bridges which the orchestra is actively engaged in building.
Above all, we seek to move our audience with our performances, to all of which we bring the same passion and care. Bringing people together around music and turning the experience of a live concert into an extraordinary event remain at the heart of our endeavours. In all of this, the orchestra’s chief conductor and artistic director, Michel Tabachnik, plays an important role.
