Performer: Antwerp Symphony Orchestra

Philippe Herreweghe conducts Marie-Elisabeth Hecker in Schumann’s Cello Concerto in this fine programme in the Concertgebouw Brugge. 

Christian Tetzlaff conjures brilliant colour and ecstatic passion from Szymanowski's First Violin concerto in Ghent.

In a brilliant performance of the "Leningrad" Symphony, Jaap van Zweden proved that great music knows no cultural borders.

Mezzo-soprano Stephanie d'Oustrac also met the dramatic and musical challenges of Berlioz's Les Nuits d’été.

Despite distancing, the members of Collegium Vocale Gent filled the Queen Elisabeth Hall with an impressively cohesive sound, transparent and powerful at the same time. 

The Dutch conductor returns to his old orchestra for a concert stream of Beethoven, with Nicholas Angelich, and Tchaikovsky. 

The Hong Kong-born conductor talks about her entry into music, her love of big Russian repertoire, her “Cinderella moment” winning the Donatella Flick Conducting Competition and her ambition to “go against the grind”. 

Antwerp Symphony Orchestra has announced that Marc Albrecht will assume the role of chief conductor in September 2026.
