Last month we took the children to a Sunday afternoon concert at the BOZAR. The National Orchestra of Belgium (ONB) played William Walton’s Viola Concert (with Antoine Tamestit) and the 10th Symphony by Dmitry Shostakovich.
We had seats in the loges directly over the cellos. What an experience! The Shostakovich is such physically exciting music. I had goose bumps three times (something that’s not happened in a while). And for the children to be so close to the players; to be able to feel the vibrations through the woodwork.
I can’t recommend highly enough experiencing symphonic music live. It’s what it’s all about.
The ONB seems to have a Sunday 15:00 slot at the BOZAR approximately once a month. Next up : two symphonies by Brahms on 21st March.
