STUDENT SOUND SERIES

Want to be the first to discover the next Maria Callas, Toots Thielemans, Eugène Ysaÿe, or Arthur Rubinstein? Join us for this concert series at the Musical Instruments Museum and experience the rising stars of tomorrow. On these Sunday afternoons, the stage of the concert hall belongs to the classical and jazz students of the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel as they showcase their talent!

Hungarian Edition 

“It was the happiest time of my life, spent in the villages among the peasants.” Experience the heartbeat of Hungary with Jenő Hubay, Franz von Vecsey, and above all Béla Bartók. In search of authentic folk music, Bartók ventured into the countryside, documenting rhythms, melodies, and traditions that he later brought to life in his compositions. Together with his contemporaries, he gave Hungarian music a fresh impulse, infused with energy, emotional power, and an unmistakable sense of place. Discover this rich tradition in this concert, where students perform both solo and in duo with their Hungarian teacher, Antal Zalai.
