You will be responsible for the artistic direction of the Brussels Philharmonic, the Brussels Young Philharmonic, and the Vlaams Radiokoor. You will develop and implement a clear artistic vision for each ensemble, ensuring that they remain socially relevant, rank among the top in our country, and gain international recognition. You lead the artistic team and report to the General Manager.
You are a creative all-rounder and a walking (music) library. You have an in-depth knowledge of music history: first and foremost, the ‘classical’ repertoire for chamber choir and symphony orchestra, but also the repertoire that draws from the vibrant collective of singers and musicians that make up the Brussels Philharmonic organisation. Your expertise and curiosity enable you to break down the boundaries of classical music: you feel just as at home in other musical genres, art forms, and cultures.
You are a natural networker and matchmaker: making connections to launch new projects, innovate, and reach new audiences is what drives you. Aware of the evolving society in which our ensembles operate, you ensure that your artistic choices and projects remain closely connected to these changes. You balance the preservation of tradition and heritage with the power of innovation and experimentation, while considering audience expectations and the ensembles' educational mission. With your creative and artistic drive, you propel the entire organization forward.
