With Surround XL, the Brussels Philharmonic flips the script. Forget about the usual distance between the audience and the musicians—this isn’t your typical concert hall experience... Imagine this: the musicians form a wide circle around the conductor, and you're not confined to the back row. You're thrust into the center of the action, surrounded by the vibrant pulse of the music. Feel every electrifying vibration of the strings, every bold exhale of the wind instruments—as if you're part of the performance.

In, around and throughout the many concerts we offer, the golden thread is the theme of EXPLORE: a wide range of diverse, joined-up initiatives that invite audiences to discover, explore in greater depth, admire, share, and connect.

By means of meetings, podcasts, chamber music, guided walks, educational materials and workshops, discussions after concerts, customised introductions, digital initiatives and much more, the Brussels Philharmonic comes to you.
