What you’ll hear and see

The music

  • Ludwig van Beethoven Klavierkonzert N° 4
  • Richard Strauss Ein Heldenleben (Une vie de héros)

The artists

  • Luxembourg Philharmonic
  • Martin Rajna conducting
  • Maria João Pires piano

Come and see a familiar face in Brussels, and a taste of things to come.

Martin Rajna reunites with the Luxembourg Philharmonic before officially stepping in as Music Director in October 2026. This programme sets the stage in bold strokes: Richard Strauss’s Ein Heldenleben is a sweeping, self-mythologising portrait of a life in full scale. Before that, Maria João Pires brings quiet intensity to Ludwig van Beethoven’s Piano Concerto N°4. This promises to be a concert of strength and subtlety.
