Coudenberg Sound Box Fest 2022

Concert
>

Coudenberg Sound Box Fest is back! Three live concerts, under the direction of curator Matteo Gemolo, are intended to be itinerant, allowing the audience to explore the rich acoustic variety of the different rooms that make up the underground route of the Palais du Coudenberg and, at the same time, to visit the whole of these spaces steeped in history.

From ancient music of the 14th century to contemporary compositions, passing through baroque, jazz, folk and electronic music, the subtle and invisible links between these different styles will be revealed by internationally renowned musicians.
