Ars Musica

Ars Musica


Since 1989 Ars Musica has remained a festival full of curiosity about everything which stirs in and intersects with contemporary music movements. From the most traditional concerts to installations, Ars Musica presents an inventory of musical creation from Belgium and the world. Another important part of the festival is making the repertoire known. Both creation and repertoire are the object of the festival's educational efforts: rehearsals with commentary open to the public, roundtable discussions, documentary film projections and introductions to the concerts all help develop an understanding of contemporary music. Ars Musica strives to offer a different way of experiencing the festival's activities, and to make it a convivial, accessible and festive cultural event. The festival is a member of the Réseau Varèse - European network for the creation and promotion of music. Laurent Langlois is the director.
