As one of the two main pillars of Bozar's artistic project, the music season is developed at the heart of a multidisciplinary and cross-disciplinary house, contributing directly to Bozar's unique identity in Europe. Bozar Music offers a program the strength of which lies in the combination of established artists and young musicians, repertoire and contemporary creation, major stars and new discoveries.

Throughout its 157 seasons, the musical project presented by Bozar Music has been greatly enriched. Initially exclusively classical, the season now presents a wide variety of styles and genres. Since 2002, when Bozar Music was founded, early music, classical music, contemporary music, jazz, electro and 'global' have been presented in various concert halls in and around the Centre for Fine Arts.
