The Brussels Chamber Ensemble was born in 2022 with the vision to celebrate European classical music and to promote talent, both in Belgium and across the European continent. Since its inception, BCE has performed in consistently sold-out concerts in some of Brussels’ most exquisite concert halls such as BOZAR and Conservatoire Royal, always with a unique goal: to promote the music and talent of the Member State holding the Presidency of the Council of the EU.
With about 60 orchestra members representing over 15 nationalities, 20 professions and an age range spanning from 18 to 70+ years, BCE’s is the epitome of what it means to be European. Approximately half of the orchestra consists of music students or young professionals from Belgian conservatories, while the other half is made up of semi-professional musicians (many of them having a music degree, but having decided to continue their professional careers as lawyers, engineers, translators, often working at, or closely with, the EU institutions). The Brussels Chamber Ensemble thus brings together so many different communities that are living together in Brussels, all united by their love for music-making.
In celebration of the Hungarian presidency of the Council of the EU the Brussels Chamber Ensemble will be playing a stunning programme, representing Hungarian composers such as Zoltán Kodály, Ferenc Liszt, a world premiere piece by Márton Wirth, our composition competition winner, and Antonín Dvořák.
The full concert programme will be:
Hungarian Part

Zoltán Kodály - Dances of Marosszék
--------- break ---------
