The Brussels Chamber Orchestra home page


In 1999, young virtuosos from different cultures gathered around a musical score for their fondness for chamber music. The specific sonority of the Brussels Chamber Orchestra, as well as an extremely profound stylistic research is the result of this union. Indeed, this group brings together six nationalities, each individual bringing their own country's cultural sensitivity, forging a fabulous covenant between Asian discipline and European fantasy.

The absence of a conductor infuses musicians into total commitment and personal investment, converting this ensemble into a real chamber music orchestra. In its short but active life, the Brussels Chamber Orchestra already counts a good number of concerts and has been invited to many international tours covering Germany, Spain, France, Japan, United States, Italy and Mexico. Their repertoire includes works spanning from Mozart to Britten, Elgar, Bartók, Hindemith or Schoenberg. They have premiered and commissioned contemporary works from young outstanding composers and are constantly looking for new projects.

The Brussels Chamber Orchestra has been graciously honoured with a residency at the prestigious institute of the Royal Conservatoire of Brussels.
