Festival van Vlaanderen

Flanders’ mag­nif­i­cent archi­tec­tur­al her­itage offers par­tic­u­lar poten­tial as infra­struc­ture for musi­cal events. For more than five decades, the Festival of Flanders has used this fact to warm up young and old for clas­si­cal music.

By sup­port­ing young Flemish artists and being at the fore­front of inno­v­a­tive trends, the organ­i­sa­tion con­tributes to the cul­tur­al influ­ence of Flanders. Eight fes­ti­vals with inter­na­tion­al appeal (in Antwerp, Bruges, Brussels, Ghent, Kortrijk, Limburg, Mechelen and Flemish Brabant) devel­op their own activ­i­ties in a com­plete­ly indi­vid­ual way. With region­al accents, they span the entire clas­si­cal reper­toire from the Middle Ages to the present, with excur­sions into tra­di­tion­al world music.

Bundled togeth­er, this means a high-qual­i­ty con­cert pro­gramme of more than 550 per­for­mances and edu­ca­tion­al projects in more than 80 cities and towns: an artis­tic, tourist and eco­nom­ic boost of stature. Visitors from home and abroad can dis­cov­er the activ­i­ties of the Festival of Flanders. The excep­tion­al­ly rich pro­gramme offers some­thing for everyone!
