‘Prokofiev Festival’

After the Shostakovich and Rachmaninov Festivals, Bozar and the Belgian National Orchestra join forces once again to present you with an event that builds momentum for the 23-24 season: the Prokofiev Festival. The Belgian National Orchestra focuses on a little-known period in Sergei Prokofiev's creative life: the years of his wanderings in Europe and America, from 1918 to 1936. The programme also includes the composer's percussive and colourful piano writing, highlighted by Florian Noack, the dramatic intensity of Symphony No. 6 performed by the Antwerp Symphony Orchestra, the timeless Peter and the Wolf played by La Monnaie Symphony Orchestra, and the electronic sounds of Sergei's grandson, Gabriel Prokofiev!
