A musical legacy
reawakened

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.

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.

Sunday 18 January

Trio Maskerade

Trio Maskerade brings together three outstanding young musicians - Aude Van De Keere (piano), Leon Blekh (violin) and Krzysztof Michalski (cello) - in an expressive exploration of the piano trio repertoire. Framed by an early work by Schubert and culminating in Tchaikovsky’s monumental Trio in A minor, the programme moves between youthful intensity and deeply personal reflection. Lyricism, contrast and emotional depth unfold across the music, offering a journey shaped by intimacy, drama and a renewed sense of hope.
