Kazushi Ono 大野 和士
"This season, the Brussels Philharmonic and I would like to invite you to a musical time machine experience!"
Kazushi Ono is the definitive musical citizen of the world. He was born in Tokyo, studied in Munich and forged his early career in Zagreb, Karlsruhe and Tokyo. These influences shaped an inquiring and profound musical intellect and an ability to communicate meaning across languages and cultures. His passion and curiosity for repertoire take him to the standard classics but also to new music and he often commissions new orchestral works and operas. He is a vocal advocate for the role of culture in all our lives and works actively within the communities which his three orchestras serve.

A BRILLIANT SOUNDSCAPE
“In Daphnis et Chloé, Ravel crafts a refined soundscape that begins with a shimmering dawn. The abduction of Chloé plunges the music into darkness, before the lovers’ reunion brings a renewed luminosity and vibrant sensuality.”

CELEBRATING SHOSTAKOVICH
“Marking the 50th anniversary of Shostakovich’s death, we pay tribute by pairing two of his works: the spirited First Piano Concerto, written in his youth, and the enigmatic Symphony No. 15, a kaleidoscope of quotations and memories, culminating in an entrancing pianissimo.”

THE MYSTERY OF SCRIABIN
“Visionary and enigmatic, Scriabin dreamed of a total art form. His Poem of Fire, conceived with colour and light effects, is its most dazzling expression. We offer a contemporary interpretation of this work, true to the composer’s innovative spirit.”
