One glance at the impressive list of laureates and participants of the Queen Elisabeth Competition says it all: this will be an All-Star concert. The musicians curated the programme themselves, with special attention to Eugène Ysaÿe, founder of the competition and an icon of the Belgian violin tradition. His music appears alongside Rebecca Clarke’s lyrical Lullaby, Rachmaninov’s moving Trio élégiaque No. 1 and Ravel’s Cello Sonata, a tribute to Debussy.

Queen Elisabeth was born 150 years ago, a monarch with a warm heart for music and culture. Her name lives on in the prestigious Queen Elisabeth Competition, which has been launching leading musical talents for decades. We are celebrating this anniversary with a reunion that is already historic: ten of the most iconic laureates are gathering for one day at Flagey. They will fill the building with violin, cello, piano and singing, in various constellations.
