In the 16th century, the vast, echoing space of St Mark's Basilica forced composers like Gabrieli into radical experimentation. Five centuries later, this inspired Jockel’s paths in the sky, in which he deconstructs the orchestra, letting music emerge from every corner of the hall. Slowly, the musicians filter back toward the stage to unite for Miloslav Kabeláč’s The Mystery of Time: : a profound symphonic translation of his fascination with space and the unyielding order that governs the cosmos. LAB-SERIES 26-27 Stretching seconds, stripping Ears. Time is of the essence. With the LAB-SERIES, Brussels Philharmonic brings together musical experiment, interaction, and total immersion. Expect eclectic concert nights with striking programmes, pre- and post-concert talks, interactive installations, and listening sessions. A Glitch in the Hourglass This season, the LAB-SERIES lets go of time as we know it. Time is shaped, stretched, or brought to a standstill. Physical interventions shift your sense of time, while composers sharpen its urgency. In that collision, a world of experiment opens up. Dive in, be surprised, and see where your curiosity takes you.
