A musical legacy
reawakened

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 21 December

Scherzi Musicali

Scherzi Musicali, a vocal and instrumental ensemble led by Nicolas Achten (continuo and direction), brings together voice and instruments in a refined exploration of early Baroque expression. Conceived as an intimate Christmas programme, Le Meraviglie di Natale draws on both the mystical and human dimensions of the season, where voice and violin enter into dialogue, framed by theorbo, harp, viola da gamba and lirone. Their performance unfolds with warmth, sensitivity and expressive depth, in a moment where devotion, resonance and musical insight meet.
