new chairman of flanders festival brussels
Flanders Festival Brussels (Klarafestival) is pleased to announce the appointment of Jan Raes as new chairman of the Board of Directors. Michel Vermaerke will pass on the torch on July 1st. He will become honorary chairman and remains a member of the Board of Directors.
Jan Raes
Jan Raes' track record is, to say the least, impressive. His successful career in the international classical music world is an incentive for Flanders Festival Brussels to become even more ambitious and innovative. After more than 11 years, Jan said goodbye to the Amsterdam Royal Concert Hall Orchestra at the beginning of this year. Jan Raes is currently interim director of Opera Ballet Vlaanderen.
We thank Michel Vermaerke for his years of dedication and we look forward to the future under the chairmanship of Jan Raes.
