| Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles, Brussels, Rue de la Régence 30, 1000 Brussels, Belgium Monday 27-Sep-10 08:00pm Denis Kozhukhin Winner of the first prize in the Queen Elisabeth Competition 2010 and of the audience prizes of both the RTBF and the VRT, Denis Kozhukhin clearly won over both the jury and the public by his musicality, his sincerity, and his generous personality. All qualities that should be highlighted by the programme for this recital: Haydn and Prokofiev, two composers in whom he shone in the final, as well as Liszt and Musorgsky: four quite different worlds, as rich as they are varied. | ||

The young musicians of the Trio Dali are continuing their studies at the College with Augustin Dumay, Menahem Pressler (pianist of the celebrated Beaux-Arts Trio), and the Artemis Quartett. Their different backgrounds and temperaments, now united by a firm friendship, have created a highly distinctive balance and clarity. | ||

Together they will play two of the best-loved quintets in the repertoire, by Brahms and Fauré. The evening will open with another masterpiece, one of the quartets that Mozart dedicated to Haydn. | ||

| Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles, Brussels, Rue de la Régence 30, 1000 Brussels, Belgium Monday 8-Nov-10 08:00pm ARTEMIS QUARTETT- Beethoven I A cycle of Beethoven's complete string quartets is always an event - for the quartet concerned, for audiences, and for concert organisers alike. For these are among the absolute pinnacles of chamber music and of Beethoven's oeuvre. The first quartets (Opus 18) were composed between 1798 and 1800; the sixteenth, Op. 135, dates from 1826. Beethoven's three great creative periods are represented, from the six quartets of Opus 18 to the six final masterpieces, via the Opus 59, 74, and 95 quartets. The Artemis Quartett has waited until it had 20 years of music-making under its belt before taking on this musical adventure, both in concert and on disc. Rather than play these works in chronological order, the quartet has chosen to mix the three periods, turning each of these six concerts into a fascinating journey through Beethoven's creative life. | ||

| Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles, Brussels, Rue de la Régence 30, 1000 Brussels, Belgium Tuesday 16-Nov-10 08:00pm Martin Helmchen This young German pianist (born in 1982), one of the leading lights of the new generation, is in increasing demand internationally. After his concerts with orchestra and in a duo with Heinrich Schiff, he now presents his first Brussels recital. He can certainly not be accused of shirking a challenge, as the centrepiece of his programme is Beethoven's monumental "Hammerklavier" Sonata, one of his most complex and grandiose works for the piano. Neither can the rest of the programme be accused of taking easy options, ranging as it does over almost three centuries of music. | ||

| Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles, Brussels, Rue de la Régence 30, 1000 Brussels, Belgium Thursday 25-Nov-10 08:00pm Les Muffatti: Giovanni Battista Pergolesi Stabat Mater! Following his acclaimed residency last season, Peter Van Heyghen returns with his Brussels baroque music ensemble Les Muffatti in a festive programme to celebrate the tercentenary of the birth of the Neapolitan composer Giovanni Battista Pergolesi. This combination of instrumental, vocal, and religious music allows scope for the conductor (and recorder-player) to present his distinctive, enthusiastic vision of the Baroque. For him, the starting point for every interpretation is "the theatricality that is inherent in baroque music... Which does not mean playing in wigs and period costume: it is about interpreting the musical gesture. You don't play notes, but gestures." Pergolesi with a difference! | ||

Of the founder members, only the violist remains. Today, only two of the musicians are Japanese; the other two are Canadian (the first violin, a laureate of the Queen Elisabeth Competition) and British (the cellist). The quartet joins forces with the clarinettist Sabine Meyer to present their version of one of the masterpieces of the repertoire, Mozart's sublime Clarinet Quintet. A summit meeting! | ||

| Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles, Brussels, Rue de la Régence 30, 1000 Brussels, Belgium Saturday 15-Jan-11 08:00pm Edding Quartet Founded in 2007, the Edding Quartet can draw on the wide-ranging experience of its members: the cellist Ageet Zweistra, who has for many years been associated with Philippe Herreweghe's ensembles, the violist Paul De Clercq, a specialist in the contemporary repertoire, and two young violinists, Baptiste Lopez and Mélanie Evrard, trained in period-instrument performance. Together, they make up one of the finest string quartets to have emerged on the international scene in recent times. They have a particular fondness for the Classical repertoire - as in this programme, which brings together Haydn, Mozart, and Schubert and includes two of the genre's greatest hits: Mozart's Clarinet Quintet and Schubert's "Death and the Maiden" Quartet. A must! | ||

The string trio repertoire may not be a vast one - compared with that for string quartet or even for piano trio - but it does include a number of undisputed masterpieces, such as the Schoenberg and Mozart trios on the programme for this concert. Both are works on a grand scale, the work of composers arrived at maturity (and, in the case of Schoenberg, at the end of his life). | ||

Quite often these works are played by soloists who get together for the purpose, as in this concert, which features three outstanding musicians, each with a successful solo career. Their programme is made up of the two piano trios that Schubert composed in the last few years of his life, which are unquestionably among the greatest works of chamber music ever written. | ||

| Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles, Brussels, Rue de la Régence 30, 1000 Brussels, Belgium Tuesday 15-Feb-11 08:00pm In memoriae The Kheops Ensemble was founded in 2006 on the initiative of three of Belgium's finest musicians: the cellist Marie Hallynck, the clarinettist Ronald Van Spaendonck - both former Rising Stars! - and the pianist Muhiddin Dürrüoglu. As the line-up varies according to the music being played, the ensemble is able to tackle a variety of different repertoires. This entirely French programme features three of France's greatest composers and culminates in the celebrated Quatuor pour la fin du temps (Quartet for the End of Time), composed by Messiaen when he was a prisoner of war in Germany in 1940. Expect an intense and rewarding evening. | ||

Her strong personality at times got her into difficulties that are still remembered today, while her incredible talent won her unprecedented fame.

The trio for violin, cello, and piano, originated by Haydn and Mozart, came into its own with Beethoven and continued to inspire the Romantics. Beethoven's First Trio (the composer's Opus 1, written when he was 23 years of age) was an immediate success, as was the First Trio by Brahms (aged 20 when he composed it). Maurice Ravel's Trio, however, one of his most accomplished compositions, is a work of its composer's maturity. | ||

Everyone knows the theme of "fate knocking at the door" that opens this symphony, one of classical music's greatest hits. In the hands of Anima Eterna and Jos van Immerseel, this so-familiar work takes on new instrumental colours and a new transparency. | ||

This concert, however, sees a radical change in her repertoire. In it, she stars in a 100% operatic programme, centre stage at the Conservatory. Sampson takes on the roles of two strong women from baroque opera: Ariadne, as seen by Johann Georg Conradi, and George Frideric Handel's Cleopatra.

Virgil's verses set the scene: the viola da gamba player Vittorio Ghielmi, our artist in residence, gladly crosses the Styx for a series of "tombeaux" by some of France's greatest composers.

| Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles, Brussels, Rue de la Régence 30, 1000 Brussels, Belgium Monday 23-May-11 08:00pm Till Fellner A protégé of Alfred Brendel, Till Fellner burst onto the international scene in 1993 when he won the Clara Haskil Competition. Avoiding glitter and superficial glamour, he has pursued an impressive career as a soloist and chamber musician, with a particular focus on the Classical and Romantic repertoire. But Fellner certainly does not turn his back on the music of our own time: his programme for this recital includes a work by the gifted 18-year-old pianist and composer Kit Armstrong.
