A festive coronation march, fairy-tale waltzes, royal stories and the iconic film music from Star Wars: the fourteenth New Year's Concert of the vzw la promises an evening full of symphonic grandeur!
Over 85 young musicians from Flanders and the Netherlands, under the direction of Hans Casteleyn, present a brilliant program with works by Walton, Prokofiev, Massenet, Respighi and John Williams.
Trombonist Jan Van de Watering, winner of the Prinses Christina Concours 2026, shines as a soloist in the trombone concerto by Nino Rota.
