Mother's Day tip!

Start Mother's Day off right and come and enjoy Alfama Quartet with your mother.

Bram de Vree: “Great to have a string quartet in the series for the first time. It is the ultimate chamber music formation – a perfect symbiosis of two violins, viola and cello. The experienced Alfama Quartet shows better than anyone else what this line-up is capable of: subtle interplay, from rare intimate to great expressive displays of power, an intense exchange of sound and emotion.”

The Alfama Quartet, founded in Brussels in 2005, anchored itself in the Belgian and international music landscape through a high-quality musical style and a coherent, demanding artistic vision. In addition to exploring the extensive string quartet repertoire, the quartet also stands for fruitful collaborations with artists from both the music and theater worlds. The Alfama Quartet performs in prestigious international concert halls and at festivals such as Bozar, deSingel, Philharmonie de Luxembourg, Festival d'Ambronay, Cité de La Musique, Philharmonie de Paris, Flagey, Musée d'Orsay, Festival de Stavelot, Opéra de Bordeaux, Opéra de Dijon, Festival d'Alcobaça, Espinho in Portugal, Opéra de Rouen, The release is scheduled for February 2023.

The Orchester Royal de Chambre de Wallonie invited the Alfama Quartet as a soloist in the concert La nuit dans tous ses états. The quartet collaborates with musicians such as Julien Libeer, Camille Thomas, Jodie Devos and others. With actress Ariane Rousseau, the Alfama Quartet created three successful family performances, including Le rêve d'Ariane (almost 250 performances) and Pomme-Henriette, performed in, among others. Philharmonie de Paris and the Opéra de Bordeaux. Fanny et Felix, their third production, tells the story of the Mendelssohn family and is available in French and Dutch.
