It is not surprising that ideas like fraternity, open mindedness and respect for human dignity – the core ideas of freemasonry – spoke to many classical composers. The freemason composer par excellence is of course Wolfang Amadeus Mozart, but also Johann Sebastian Bach, Josef Haydn and many others composed works which, openly or hidden, refer to the lodge.
Wishing to bring this intimate connection to light to a large audience, the museum starts up a partnership with the Belgian National Orchestra in which the research and preservation of this musical heritage goes hand in hand with a contemporary execution.
