Esteemed public,
Classical music of the highest level, contemporary dance and film: that is the KlaraFestival 2010. Gustav Mahler was born in 1860: controversial in his own time, but venerated today as one of the most important artists of the 19th-century fin de siècle. A child of his age, in whom tradition and innovation merge and for whom profound emotions and levity go hand in hand. Together with our partners Klara, Bozar, Kaaitheater, La Monnaie/De Munt, Flagey and Cinematek, for a full ten days we will be exploring the legacy of this major composer through his relationship to his predecessors, contemporaries and successors. Mahler as a connecting figure between old and new, literally and figuratively. THE Mahler CONNECTION…
As you can expect from an international festival, this edition also has much more in store for you. Among other things we are celebrating the 25th anniversary of Concerto Köln with two very different concerts, the arrival of a raft of top vocal talents such as Simone Kermes, the world creation of the latest dance performance of Claire Croizé, the presence of the world´s best orchestras with in their wake rare talents such as Maurizio Pollini and the world premiere of a new quartet that goes by the name of Maeterlinck.
Add to this the mysterious Club-K with Uri Caine, the great opening celebration ´the First Night´ with free concerts in the Brussels train stations and the Cologne Hauptbahnhof, the tenth edition of Living Room Music in the Brussels districts of Matonge and Koekelberg, and you just know that KlaraFestival 2010 is not to be missed.
Moreover, everything can be followed non-stop on the radio via Klara and Musiq3, in the printed press via De Standaard and La Libre Belgique, abroad via the European Broadcasting Union and online on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr and at www.klarafestival.be.
This musical explosion is offered to you by the Festival van Vlaanderen Brussel!

During the last few weekends, the five winners of the ‘Village Outing’ (Dorp op Stap) contest all enjoyed a day full of music – at home in their very own village. Churches in Donk [Antwerp], Snaaskerke [West Flanders], Berg [Limburg], Vlekkem [East Flanders] and Vissenaken [Flemish Brabant] were filled to the rafters. The audience responded very enthusiastically to Koen Plaetinck, who treated them to his favourite compositions by J.S. Bach on the marimba. Cellist Benjamin Glorieux and pianist Kimiko Nishi left everyone with goose pimples after their performance of works by Beethoven. After the concert a reception was held by the village committee for all those who attended. UiT in Brussel was present with an information stand and an exhibition about Brussels in the form of a comic book. The Guild of St Michael served delicious snacks from Brussels. Radio 2 made the great presentation!
Now that the village concerts are over, the inhabitants of the five participating villages can get ready for the big excursion to Brussels: on Sunday 2 May 2010 they are invited to attend a concert by the Belgian National Orchestra in the Palace of Fine Arts. A reception will be held on this occasion where they can present their own regional specialties and in the afternoon the 80 tour guides of UiT in Brussel will show them around Brussels.

During the prestigious European Gala on 25 February conductor Lorin Maazel and the Vienna Philharmonic presented the classics in a new light. Prompted by the overwhelming music, the applause in a completely sold-out Bozar erupted spontaneously into rhythmic clapping. On 16 April the Chamber Orchestra of Europe conducted by Sakari Orama will blow new life into works by Prokofiev, Ligeti and Saint-Saëns. Lisa Batiashvili from Georgia will add the wealth of her emotionally charged playing to this varied repertoire. With her 18th-century Engleman Stradivarius, she is engaged on a tour from Sweden to the USA, where every tone she produces will be sure to sing and speak to her audience. Don’t miss this up-and-coming violin virtuoso!
