Buildings

The Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles, situated in the centre of Brussels, is spread over two sites called ‘Régence’ and ‘Chêne’. During the works on the historic building (rue de la Régence), the offices (administration and management) will be located at 146 rue Royale - temporary ‘Royale’ site.


A major restoration project is planned for the historic building on rue de la Régence between 2024 and 2029.
Since 2007, the non-profit organisation Conservamus (www.conservamus.be) has been devoting its energies to supporting this project.

The Régence site is an historical building in the renaissance revival style, building between 1872 and 1876, at 30 rue de la Régence.

 

Comprising three sections, and inspired by the Lescot wing of the Louvre, the building is built around a main courtyard and is the work of Belgian architect Jean-Pierre Cluysenaar. The Régence site is home to the main administration of the Conservatoire as well as the library, data processing, several teaching rooms and two larger public halls used mainly for examinations and performance:

  • the "grande salle" built in the Napoléon III style, thanks to its capacity of 597 places and its exceptional acoustic is considered one of the best auditoria in Brussels > See plan
  • the "petite salle" has a capacity of 98, and with its grand piano it is the ideal setting for recitals, chamber music concerts as well as banquets.
