Atelier Vivaldi by Brussels Philharmonic at 164VANVOLXEM (18:30-19:30)

Step into our atelier and experience our music-making process up close.

Meet the master of swinging Baroque: Antonio Vivaldi. For one evening, we transform the canteen of the P.A.R.T.S. dance school, on the newly renovated 164vanvolxem campus, into our contemporary take on a musical salon — and invite the audience to settle in with a drink at one of the small tables, right next to the orchestra.

-----

On the workbench: a celebration of Baroque energy and swirling strings that leads us through Vivaldi’s repertoire. Alongside a selection of concerti showcasing the richness and versatility of his sound world, his all-time audience favourite The Four Seasons is, of course, not to be missed. With each piece, conductor Harry Ogg shares insights about the composer, the music, and the process of shaping it together with the orchestra.

⭐ ABOUT BRUSSELS PHILHARMONIC

“The world needs symphonic music.

And symphonic music needs the world.”

That is the firm belief of the Brussels Philharmonic. As a symphony orchestra founded in 1935 under the auspices of the Belgian public broadcaster, unveiling the symphonic world as best we can is deep in our DNA. By innovating while maintaining full respect for the value of the past, we keep the symphonic music of the past, present and future relevant and inspiring – for ourselves and all of society. We do this from the historic Studio 4 at Flagey in Brussels, together with our music director Kazushi Ono: he shares our open and adventurous spirit and our rock-solid belief in the need for cross-fertilization between art, life and society.
