The Flanders Festival Brussels comprises various musical events that have been embellishing Brussels for over 40 years!Seven projects are being showcased in 2010:the KlaraFestival, The European Galas, Dorp op Stap, Living Room Music, Festival on Tour, Music Masters on Air and the brand-new children’s singing ensemble in cooperation with Met-X: Shanti! Shanti! The Festival of Flanders Brussels is going to meet the public and daring to think beyond the concert hall; edifying classical music is undoubtedly suitable for a gala-evening, but why not also put it in the public domain, in city squares and in living rooms…?It is classical, but always dazzling!
