Programme

Concerts, recitals and cultural gatherings.

From September to June we present a concert season that moves between classical, jazz, world music and contemporary creations. It is not the genre that is central, but the quality of the encounter between artist and audience.

The programme

The season

Around the concert grand we keep a cultural meeting place where national and international musicians invite the audience for musical experiences in an intimate setting.

Each evening is curated in full and completed with a changing selection of champagne, selected wines and other refined drinks, so that music and hospitality arrive as one experience.

Recurring

Strands that return each season.

  • Every first Thursday

    Thursday Tunes

    Live music in the salon on the first Thursday of the month.

  • Once a year

    Piano Presto

    Our international piano festival, held for Piano Day. Piano Day falls every year on 28 March, the 88th day of the year, one for each key of the piano. Piano Day was founded in 2015 by the German pianist and composer Nils Frahm. In 2027 The Antwerp Pianist presents the festival for the second time. The opening concert on 25 March brings Norwegian pianist Anastasiya Bazhenova from Carnegie Hall in New York to a salon in the heart of Antwerp.

  • Summer months

    Nocte Festival

    Through the summer we welcome the Nocte Festival, where music, culture and encounter find each other.

  • Through the season

    Authors, poets, thinkers, performers and stand-up comedians, in the intimacy of the salon.

  • Through the season

    Gastronomic evenings

    Tastings, wine evenings and dinners with chefs, wineries and artisanal producers from home and abroad.
