About us

The Festival of Flanders Brussels comprises various musical events that have been embellishing Brussels for over 40 years! Seven projects are being showcased in 2010: the KlaraFestival, The European Galas, Dorp op Stap, Living Room Music, Festival on Tour, Music Masters on Air and the brand-new children’s singing ensemble in cooperation with Met-X: Chanti! Chanti! The Festival of Flanders Brussels is going to meet the public and daring to think beyond the concert hall; edifying classical music is undoubtedly suitable for a gala-evening, but why not also put it in the public domain, in city squares and in living rooms…? It is classical, but always dazzling!

The KlaraFestival is a distinguished international music festival that, from the historically informed practice, strives for an original alternative for the performance of classical, romantic, modern and contemporary music. The KlaraFestival also takes up its role as a guiding artistic platform using cross-genre projects as well as its own creations. In doing so, the KlaraFestival actively gives direction to the international world of music. KlaraFestival provides ‘added value’ thanks to its intense collaboration with important cultural institutions from Brussels as well as elsewhere in Belgium and abroad.
With its interactive link to public broadcasting and other (new) media, the KlaraFestival strives for a national and international feel and contributes to a positive conceptualisation of ‘classical music’ in our modern society.
