LES MUSICIENS D’EUROPE
About us
Our story
In the summer of 1994, a concert was held in Belgium, bringing together musicians from various European countries. This first encounter was a great musical and human success, prompting the initiators to create a new kind of orchestra: an orchestra focused on the practice of music, calling for the overcoming of all divisions and promoting peace between the countries of Europe. Les Musiciens d'Europe were born.
The orchestra transcends all division – cultural, national, social, linguistic and generational – and is made up of experienced musicians from major national orchestras, professional teachers, conservatory students and high-level amateurs.
Our pillars
- European orchestra
