The musicians perform the music connected to the earthly. Philip Glass translates the fire in The Light, Geoffrey Gordon puts the wind as the breath of God in his brand new harp concerto, and Claude Debussy brings La Mer to life in all its forms. In many religions, such as Tibetan, there is a fifth element that brings everything together: the inspiration for Camille Pépin's Vajrayāna.
In, around and throughout the many concerts we offer, the golden thread is the theme of EXPLORE: a wide range of diverse, joined-up initiatives that invite audiences to discover, explore in greater depth, admire, share, and connect.
By means of meetings, podcasts, chamber music, guided walks, educational materials and workshops, discussions after concerts, customised introductions, digital initiatives and much more, the Brussels Philharmonic comes to you.
