Coudenberg Sound Box Fest
The Coudenberg Palace proudly presents: the Coudenberg Sound Box Fest! Curated by Italian flautist and doctor in music performance Matteo Gemolo, this is where music meets history. Artists from Brussels and beyond perform and enchant their audience in the one-of-a-kind archaeological site in the heart of Europe. This wonderful initiative has grown and evolved since its inception in 2021, and now invites those interested to a series of 4 concerts, or joins you as a musical companion during your next visit.
Concerts
Get ready for a magical journey! Descend the stairs—and the centuries—into a world shaped by musical influences from across the ages. Each concert unites two remarkable ensembles, blending their artistry into a rich soundscape that spans from classical to contemporary music.
The festival has so far attracted internationally acclaimed musicians like Anthony Romaniuk, Scherzi Musicali (Nicolas Achten), Ictus Ensemble, SIGNUM Saxophone Quartet, Sam Lee, and Petar Pejcic, winner of the 5th prize at the Queen Elisabeth Competition. At the same time, it remains committed to nurturing emerging talent, offering young and local artists a platform to shine.
