Stravinsky: Petrushka · 24.04.2026 · Flagey

Beyond The Score – This concert series celebrates the power of imagination: our fantasy transforms what we see in the real world into a universe that is entirely our own, coloured by who we are. What is real? What is illusion? What is imagination? What is reality?

The visual dimension enhances this sense of estrangement – and invites the audience to imagine a personal parallel universe. The new works by artist Ellen Vrijsen, inspired by the music, activate the viewer’s imagination.

Beyond the Score

With Beyond The Score, Brussels Philharmonic looks beyond the notes, exploring what symphonic music awakens in other voices across our society. These concerts are born from creation, encounter, and cross-pollination with the wider arts field.

More voices. More impulses. And above all: music. More than music.
