Brussels Philharmonic

"If making music is akin to competitive sports, then the Queen Elisabeth Competition is the ultimate Olympic arena. This May, the world’s top pianists gather in Belgium, pouring their hearts into four weeks of intense performances. ----- The buzz extends well beyond the concert hall: journalists race through the corridors for quick interviews, jury members analyse each performance meticulously, and family and friends are filled with nervous anticipation. Meanwhile, music lovers around the globe are glued to the competition, following every moment closely. At the center of this whirlwind, the candidates must stay calm and focused, both mentally and physically. For the Brussels Philharmonic, it’s an exhilarating experience and a true privilege to accompany the piano virtuosos of tomorrow during the final week at Bozar."
