From a legendary past, a new chapter begins. After fifty years, the Astoria Concerts return to the historic Salon Elisabeth. Tickets for Season 3 are now available.
This series pays tribute to its storied heritage, seamlessly blending timeless classics with the energy of vibrant new talent. 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.
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.
Pianist Jiaxin Min and violinist Elina Buksha present a compelling recital that moves from the meditative stillness of Arvo Pärt’s Fratres and Spiegel im Spiegel to the sweeping lyricism of Schubert’s Fantasy in C major D934. Internationally recognised for their artistry and stage presence, with Min a Queen Elisabeth Competition laureate and Buksha a Latvian Great Music Award winner, they bring precision, expressive depth and musical individuality to a programme that balances contemplation with vibrant intensity.
