On 16 December our Children’s and Youth Choir will be singing in a Christmas concert for the benefit of the private be.Source foundation in the splendid Church of Our Lady of Sablon in Brussels.
It’s a busy period for the Munt Children’s and Youth Choir! Having performed at a gala dinner for the French president Emmanuel Macron at the chateau in Laken, in mid-December they have a Christmas concert engagement at the Sablon Church in the centre of Brussels.
The choir will be singing the best and finest works from the Christmas music repertoire in the company of soloists from the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel and an eight-member instrumental ensemble. A cosy Sunday afternoon in a magical Christmas atmosphere.
The net income from this “Concert des Cœurs” will go to the projects run by be.Source. This private foundation is dedicated to helping less fortunate older people and also supports the Munt’s social programme: “A bridge between two worlds.”
From 3 June to 22 September, La Monnaie and Muntpunt are transforming Rue Royale—the small street between their buildings—into a vibrant summer spot. A long table will serve as a welcoming meeting place where locals and passers-by can read, have lunch, play board games, or simply soak up the sun.
To mark Pride Week, La Monnaie decorates its façade in rainbow colours, to show its unwavering support for the LGBTQIA+ community.
A real feast for the eyes and ears in 2023, La Monnaie’s production of Tchaikovsky’s most intimate and celebrated opera, directed by Laurent Pelly and conducted by Alain Altinoglu, is now available on DVD, Blu-ray and streaming via Naxos.
