About Us
The Flanders Festival Brussels comprises various musical events that have been embellishing Brussels for over 40 years! Five projects are being showcased in 2012:the KlaraFestival, The European Galas, Festival on Sports Tour, Music Masters on Air and the children’s singing ensemble in cooperation with Met-X: Shanti!

The Festival of Flanders Brussels is going to meet the public and daring to think beyond the concert hall; edifying classical music is undoubtedly suitable for a gala-evening, but why not also put it in the public domain, in city squares and in living rooms…? It is classical, but always dazzling!
