Bruocsella Orchestra Takes on Symphonic Works with a Twist


Liszt’s “symphonic poem” Les Préludes and Debussy’s “symphonic sketches” La Mer will be the two orchestral highlights of the Bruocsella Symphony Orchestra’s summer concert in Brussels this weekend (June 21).

If the prospect of an orchestra alone isn’t enough of a draw, then the two solo works on the programme should be. Alain Baudhuin is playing Weber’s clarinet concerto no. 1 and cellist Benjamin Glorieux is performing Respighi's Adagio con variazioni – they both studied at the music conservatory in Brussels and really are worth coming to hear.

You can read more about the concert in this article in Flanders Today and on the orchestra’s web site. Maybe see you on Sunday!
