After a remarkable debut concert in February 2019, Youth Orchestra Flanders joins forces with Stéphane Denève - music director of Brussels Philharmonic - who will take the young generation under his wing. The programme combines a world premiere of a brand new work by Jeroen D'hoe with great classics, and brings together the young musicians with a star soloist from Belgium as Camille Thomas will perform the Elgar Cello Concerto with the Youth Orchestra Flanders.

“Nothing is more rewarding for an experienced musician than nurturing the next generation! In collaboration with the master musicians of the Brussels Philharmonic and the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra, and with the prestigious soloist Camille Thomas, we will explore in depth not only masterpieces of the repertoire, but also music of the 21st century. It is a delight to have a World Premiere by Jeroen D’hoe on the program, specially written for the occasion. With this outstanding initiative, supported by the Flemish government, the symphonic future of the region feels bright and promising!” Stéphane Denèv
