About
This concert is entirely dedicated to our national musical heritage. With works by César Franck and his student Guillaume Lekeu, we celebrate two icons of Belgian Romanticism. The choice for this program opens with a celebration of Queen Elisabeth's 150th anniversary. As a violinist and patron, she was a driving force behind the international recognition of this heritage. The historical link is tangibly present: Franck wrote his famous violin sonata as a wedding gift for the legendary violinist Eugène Ysaÿe. Ysaÿe was not only the inspiration for the Queen's later music competition but also the man who commissioned the (unfinished) piano quartet from the young Lekeu.
