From South Korea to Amsterdam, via Namur, Wiesbaden, and Paris: the Belgian National Orchestra strives to make orchestral music accessible to all Belgians and to promote Belgium on the international stage.
The Belgian National Orchestra is Belgium’s only federal symphonic orchestra. Based at Bozar – the flagship of Belgian culture – the orchestra is committed to sharing its music with the widest possible audience, both at home and abroad.
In the 2025-26 season, the Belgian National Orchestra will tour in Paris, Wisbaden as well as in South Korea, with stops in Seoul, Andong, Gyeonggi Province, and more. In Belgium, the orchestra will perform in cities across the country, from Namur to Leuven.
Belgian concert halls will host performances with internationally acclaimed artists such as pianist Joyce Yang, percussionist Colin Currie, soprano Véronique Gens, and conductor Roderick Cox.
