From a legendary past, a new chapter begins. After fifty years, the Astoria Concerts return to the historic Salon Elisabeth. Tickets for Season 2 are now available.
This series pays tribute to its storied heritage, seamlessly blending timeless classics with the energy of vibrant new talent. With performances by renowned artists such as Tatiana Samouil, Marie Hallynck and Jean-Claude Vanden Eynden, the Astoria Concerts honour a rich musical legacy. An extraordinary season of unforgettable performances awaits.
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.
Two top-tier stars, flautist Anna Besson and tenor Reinoud Van Mechelen, take on the challenge of creating a programme specially dedicated to their intimate and unconventional duo. The audience will discover original arrangements of music by French composers, from Guillaume de Machaut to Claude Debussy and Albert Roussel. A detour through Bach and a touch of folk music complete this delightful mix.
