A new chapter begins for the Conservatoire royal de Bruxelles, which is leaving its historic building at the start of this season to make way for a major restoration project. The 2024-2025 season will therefore take place outside the walls of the rue de la Régence. It gives us the opportunity to meet new people and explore new sounds.
The season's programme features a wide variety of concerts and performances in terms of languages, aesthetics and ensembles.
You'll be treated to both intimate and large-scale ensembles. Two symphony concerts are on the programme.
The first opens the season with Mahler's Fifth Symphony and Saint-Saëns's Piano Concerto No. 2, performed by our school's prize-winner. The second concert is devoted to Mussorgsky's magnificent Pictures at an Exhibition, orchestrated by Ravel, and Beethoven's Fourth Symphony. Two other concerts will take us to some exceptional venues: the String Orchestra concert will resound in the Salle Fiocco at La Monnaie, and the Harmonie concert will resound in the Salle Henry Le Bœuf at the Palais des Beaux-Arts. The Conservatoire is also venturing into the production of two operas that can only Purcell's Dido and Æneas and Mozart's Die Zauberflöte.
The season's programme, performed by our young and established artists, features concerts of early music and jazz as well as concerts exploring contemporary aesthetics and new works.
During the Festival Courants d'Airs, the musicians and actors will be sharing their creativity and autonomy with us.
In short, from chamber music concerts to large orchestras or operas, from theatrical performances to jazz concerts, the Conservatoire royal de Bruxelles invites you to discover and support its young artists as well as to experience aesthetic moments filled with emotion, elevation and reflection.
In association with our partners, we look forward to seeing you throughout this new programme designed especially for you.
