From the first iridescences of the orchestra, the violin sets out the hypnotic melody which seems to emerge from a misty landscape and haunts the entire concerto. The ghostly high notes soon dissipate to give way to a joyful fanfare . The multi-award-winning soloist Liya Petrova will be able to deploy her generous sound in the Allegro molto appassionato , intoxicating us with her natural virtuosity, perfect in this score with its voluble and magical writing, but also more stormy. For Mendelssohn is a composer full of nuances and the violinist's bow will also have to make the supernatural and fantastic second movement ring out.

Another gem of the repertoire is Tchaikovsky 's " Winter Dreams , " the subtitle of his Symphony No. 1 , a score that is oh so elegant and light with its very visual orchestra. The sections interact, offering mixtures of timbres with varied colors, willingly dark (wonderful clarinets, bassoons and low strings!), and suddenly teeming and picturesque, as in the swirling and mysterious Scherzo. The Flanders Symphony Orchestra, by turns sparkling and more vehement, underlines the atmospheres and poetry of this score.

A captivating program whose melodic wonders warm up this journey through wintry and mysterious expanses , with Martijn Dendievel as the principal conductor of the Flanders Symphony Orchestra for the first time .

Auditorium Patrick Devedjian

Nestled like a gem in a case of glass and wood, the Auditorium Patrick Devedjian is the centerpiece of our building. It can accommodate up to 1,150 spectators and is dedicated to acoustic music, featuring the greatest classical ensembles and musicians, foremost among them the resident orchestra: Insula orchestra.

Its appearance is open to interpretation: a bird's nest, a giant liner, "the ball"...

From the outside, its glass facade is protected and powered by a gigantic array of solar panels that moves in synchronization with the sun, overlooking the concrete liner.

From the inside, the 1,150-seat hall awakens our senses. Dedicated to classical music, jazz, and world music concerts, its light blonde wooden ceiling, cardboard tubes, and paper reveal all the secrets of the excellent acoustics of this stage.

 

Its Acoustics

Studied by the Nagata and Jean-Paul Lamoureux firm to ensure the best possible sound reproduction for the audience. All precautions have been taken to guarantee exceptional acoustics with the precision of a musical instrument.

 

Its Design

Modular, its vineyard-style arrangement creates a genuine proximity with the audience surrounding the artists. The interplay of lights, the beauty of materials (wood, mosaics, glass), and the 360° panorama are all designed to match the pleasure of the eyes with that of the ears.

Its design aims to create a sense of visual and acoustic intimacy shared between the audience and the musicians. The atmosphere of the hall is warm, with curved wooden walls and ceiling contributing to the hall’s unique sound identity. Access to the hall is provided on three levels by large suspended walkways offering panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. These are connected by large staircases forming a continuous promenade around the hall.
