A city full of music
The Belgian National Orchestra, la Monnaie and Bozar step outside their walls and join forces to bring music to the streets of Brussels.
The fifth edition of United Music Of Brussels presents a musical adventure that brings artists together across different atmospheres and in close contact with the public. And all for free! This year, the festival consists of three days of musical walks. Let yourself be carried through a different district each day to the rhythm of well-known and beloved melodies.
Appointments on 24, 25 and 26 November in the galleries on the Sablon, Bozar and the Queen's Gallery, but also in many other places.
Programme Thursday 24 November

How many fires have I burned
This show brings together texts by several women poets. It is an ode to lyrical expression as a means of emancipating women from the male gaze, and poetry becomes an alternative to the role to which women are assigned by society.

Horizons quartet

Ode to the moon

Musical at the movies
What is created when classical musicians venture into Broadway repertoire? Half an hour of love, irreverence, laughter, tears and pure joy! Featuring Bernard Villiers (vocals), Páidí O'Dubhain (vocals) and Julie Delbart (piano).
