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. Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 24 dates from just before Don Giovanni and Le Nozze di Figaro, yet it already displays the elegance and dramatic character of opera. The charming Piano Concerto No. 15, on the other hand, is renowned for its breathtaking tempo – and its characteristic humour.

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.
