A musical legacy
reawakened

With performances by renowned artists such as Tatiana Samouil, Marie Hallynck and Jean-Claude Vanden Eynden, the Astoria Concerts honour a rich musical legacy. An extraordinary season of unforgettable performances awaits.

Reimagining tradition

Founded over fifty years ago, the Astoria Concerts quickly became a symbol of musical excellence in Brussels, captivating audiences in the historic Waldorf Hall. For three decades, these concerts shaped the city’s cultural identity, spotlighting rising talents and celebrated artists. Now, this legendary tradition returns in the beautifully reimagined Salon Elisabeth, ready to inspire a new generation of music lovers.

Sunday 1 March

Sanele Mwelase

The South African countertenor Sanele Mwelase presents a refined recital that moves from German Lied by Schumann, Schubert, Liszt and Richard Strauss to French mélodie by Fauré, before unfolding into dramatic Handel and Mozart arias and a touch of operetta. Internationally recognised for his versatility and stage presence, he brings vocal clarity and emotional depth to a programme that balances intimacy with operatic brilliance.
