Boesmans Wave 26 @ KBR

In February and March, KBR is joining La Monnaie, Flagey, the Brussels Philharmonic, the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, the Royal Academy of Belgium, and the Klara Festival to celebrate the work of Philippe Boesmans (1936–2022) through concerts, masterclasses, and lectures.

For KBR, what could be more natural and exciting than to be part of this event? In 2021, KBR helped save seventeen manuscripts by this internationally renowned Belgian composer from being dispersed, with the support of the King Baudouin Foundation for the acquisition of the collection. Deposited at KBR, these scores were not only stored in proper conservation materials but also catalogued online, ensuring their preservation and accessibility. Recently, they have also been featured on a new website dedicated to the composer.

Event at KBR

During these festive weeks, KBR will host, on March 6 at 12:30 PM, the Composition and Classical Writing class from the Conservatoire royal de Bruxelles (CrB). This is a perfect opportunity to be moved by the younger generation and to hear them respond to the works of van Rossum and Boesmans.
