Composers in a nutshell

Some composers in our season will be familiar, others may be entirely new to you.

This series introduces them in just a few minutes: who they were, what makes them distinctive, and why their music continues to resonate today.

Press Play: Must-See Films

Every concert starts with a theme—an idea that sparks the imagination. Inspired by those themes, film journalist Robin Broos compiles must-see film lists that dive deeper into the atmosphere and emotions behind the music.

Press Play and discover the top films that echo the spirit of each performance—sometimes thought-provoking, sometimes surprising, always worth watching.

Music for Community

Read our contribution to the book 'Klank van verbinding', about participatory music practices and social action in Flanders and Brussels.

At Brussels Philharmonic vzw, we stand for an artistic mission as well as a broader social commitment. Society is diverse and changes at great speed, and as an orchestra we transform along with it. What moves people today? What conversations matter? And how can music give them resonance? In this article, we share how that ongoing search shapes our reflection, growth, and practice.
