Reimagining tradition

Founded over fifty years ago, the Astoria Concerts quickly became a symbol of musical excellence in the city of Brussels, enchanting audiences with unforgettable performances in the historic Waldorf Hall.

For three decades, they defined the city’s cultural landscape. Over the years, the concerts witnessed the rise of young talent and the unforgettable performances of iconic artists.  Now, this legendary tradition returns, in the reimagined Salon Elisabeth, ready to captivate a new generation.
