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.”
This year, Mobility Week coincides with the celebrations marking the 50th anniversary of the Brussels metro network. La Monnaie, which promotes sustainable mobility, has joined in the STIB’s celebrations by organising a pop-up fashion show at De Brouckère station on 15 September.
Next year, the non-profit association 'Mortier Awards' will present the Mortier Next Generation Award, for the fifth time. This prize, worth € 30,000, supports artistic projects of young artists in keeping with the spirit of Gerard Mortier, former La Monnaie director and great innovator of the art form opera.
