Due to unforeseen circumstances, there has been a change to the programme for the concert on Friday 30 October 2026, performed by the Brussels Philharmonic conducted by Sascha Goetzel at Flagey: in the second half, Richard Strauss’s Don Quixote will be replaced.
The new full programme will be:
Emilie Mayer Faust-Ouverture, Op. 46 (1879)
Robert Schumann Cello Concerto in A minor, Op. 129 (1850)
Richard Strauss Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche, Op. 28 (1895)
Richard Strauss Der Rosenkavalier (Suite), Op. 59 (1910)
The start time, introduction, Symfomania! workshop and duration of the concert remain unchanged. Your current tickets remain valid: you do not need to take any further action. Should you have any questions regarding this change, please feel free to contact the Flagey Ticketshop.
“An instrument with the range of the human voice”: it is no wonder the cello evokes such emotion. Victor Julien-Laferrière, winner of the first-ever Queen Elisabeth Competition for cello, performs the repertoire's first great concerto by Robert Schumann. Next up is the master storyteller Richard Strauss: following the antics of Till Eulenspiegel comes the transience of life and yearning love in the bittersweet Der Rosenkavalier.
