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.
Set within the intimate surroundings of Astoria Club, Astoria Jazz Nights brings a new rhythm to the evening, where live music meets relaxed elegance.
Across three spring dates, settle in for contemporary jazz performed by Cream Colored Ponies in a setting shaped by atmosphere and sound.
Each evening unfolds across two live sets, drawing you into an immersive rhythm before the night drifts into the warmth of Palm Court or the charm of Under The Stairs.
