Song

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, Jan Lisiecki brings quiet intensity to Ludwig van Beethoven’s Piano Concerto N°4. This promises to be a concert of strength and subtlety.
