15:30 🥂 Reception after the concert
Join us for an inspiring Chamber Music Journey celebrating the richness and depth of the German classical tradition, with masterpieces by Ludwig van Beethoven and Robert Schumann.
This programme highlights the expressive dialogue between flute and piano, where lyricism, drama, and intimacy intertwine. From Beethoven’s clarity and formal elegance to Schumann’s poetic and introspective world, the concert offers a journey through two essential voices of German Romanticism.
Performed by flutist Nozomi Kanda and pianist Maiko Inoue, this recital invites the audience to experience chamber music as a space of shared emotion and refined musical conversation.
Set in the unique atmosphere of the Musical Instruments Museum in Brussels, this afternoon concert promises a moment of musical depth, elegance, and discovery — an invitation to travel through the timeless beauty of German classics
