‘Annual concert of the Royal Symphonic band of the Belgian Guides’

Like every year, our association “The Friends of the Royal Symphonic Band of the Guides” organizes its annual gala concert on the occasion of King's Day. This concert, organized under the high patronage and in the presence of Madame Ludivine Dedonder, Minister of National Defence, will take place in the Henri Le Bœuf hall of the Center for Fine Arts in Brussels.

During this concert we will pay tribute to the Belgian pianist, composer, conductor, arranger and educator François Glorieux on the occasion of his 90th birthday. And this year we also celebrate the 190th anniversary of the Royal Symphonic Band of the Guides.

But the big news is that we have the honor to receive the Belgian finalist of the International Queen Elisabeth Music Competition 2022: cellist Stéphanie Huang, who captivated us during her various performances.
