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.
The Astoria Concerts open their autumn series with Belgian piano prodigy Valère Burnon, 3rd Prize and Audience Prize winner at the 2025 Queen Elisabeth Competition. On 14 September, he will perform Beethoven’s Sonata No. 31, Franck’s Prélude, Choral et Fugue and Claude Ledoux’s A Flower’s Dream - showcasing both 19th-century masterpieces and contemporary brilliance.
