Anyone who has attended before can attest: this is how you celebrate classical music. Iedereen Klassiek immerses absolutely everyone in a joyous musical experience. True to tradition, the Brussels Philharmonic concludes the event with several beloved classics on their music stands.

Mozart’s overture to Le nozze di Figaro exudes a theatrical lightness, yet remains exceptionally lively and energetic. Ravel’s stylized Pavane, by contrast, is elegant and unhurried, bathed in a Spanish atmosphere.

Next, in Schumann’s Cello Concerto, Victor Julien-Laferrière engages in an intimate dialogue with the orchestra. As a passionate romantic, Schumann composed a concerto where the soloist is not pitted against the orchestra, but rather becomes an integral part of it.

Finally, contrast reigns supreme in Bartók’s six Romanian Folk Dances, each deeply rooted in traditional folk music. Rhythmic sharpness, irregular accents, and distinctive melodic twists infuse the music with an irresistible energy.
