Reimagining tradition

Founded over fifty years ago, the Astoria Concerts quickly became a symbol of musical excellence in Brussels, captivating audiences in the historic Waldorf Hall. For three decades, these concerts shaped the city’s cultural identity, spotlighting rising talents and celebrated artists. Now, this legendary tradition returns in the beautifully reimagined Salon Elisabeth, ready to inspire a new generation of music lovers.

UPCOMING EVENT

Jacques Brel: A Musical Tribute

On Sunday 27 April, celebrate the legendary music of Jacques Brel with Filip Jordens, Xavier Locus, and Jean-Louis Rassinfosse.

"His talent, his voice, his body, the interplay with his musicians — everything about Filip Jordens brings “Le Grand Jacques” back to life. With the same power, fury, irony and tenderness, this unparalleled Brel interpreter doesn’t just bring the house down, he makes us feel just how grand and relevant Brel’s work still is today. Brel the poet, Brel the visionary, Brel the musician, Brel the comedian, Brel the satirist, Brel the man. A master, plain and simple."

— Philippe Claudel, writer and filmmaker
