The Belgian National Orchestra presents an inspiring repertoire of symphonic music from past and present. The Orchestra strives to enrich and transform lives through music with its artistic, educational and social projects. The Belgian National Orchestra has been founded in 1936. Ever since, the Orchestra has grown and has deepened its bonds to its public in Belgium and abroad. It attracts a large audience to concert halls all over the world, but principally to the prestigious Henry Le Bœuf Hall at the Centre for Fine Arts in Brussels where the orchestra proposes its own series of concerts. It is renowned for its professionalism and creative spirit, the virtuosity of its musicians and the deep artistic understanding of its Music Director. The orchestra performed with world-famous artists such as Janine Jansen, Roberto Alagna, Anna Netrebko, Hélène Grimaud, Vadim Repin and Gidon Kremer. At the same time, a strong bond is developing between the Belgian National Orchestra and young, promising musicians, through the collaboration with the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel and the Queen Elisabeth Competition. The Belgian National Orchestra has a number of award-winning CDs to its name and has toured in Japan, Spain, Switzerland and - just recently and to great critical acclaim - in Germany and Central Europe.
