For the 2025 edition of the Flagey Piano Days, we are bringing Canadian Mozart expert Angela Hewitt and her 'Mozart Odyssey' project to Brussels. Between March 2024 and December 2026, Hewitt will perform all of Mozart’s piano concertos worldwide with various orchestras and conductors. Together with the Brussels Philharmonic and Kazushi Ono, she will perform no fewer than three concertos over two concert evenings.

In Angela Hewitt’s hands, Mozart’s music transforms into liquid gold. For this concert, she has chosen his Piano Concerto No. 24, composed just before Don Giovanni and Le Nozze di Figaro, yet already infused with the elegance and dramatic character of opera, as well as the charming Piano Concerto No. 15, renowned for its breathtaking pace and the composer’s signature wit.

In between, Symphony No. 35 in D major, or the “Haffner,” holds onto that unmistakable Mozart energy, from a dramatic opening through a lyrical string section, all the way to its lightning-fast finale.
