The 12 Cellists of the Berlin Philharmonic
Wednesday 28 October 2026, 20:00
Concert
'The Twelve Cellists', it's something of a household name worldwide and everyone immediately knows it's those twelve from the Berliner Philharmoniker. For reasons unknown, they have never performed as an ensemble on any stage in our country. Yet these 12 travel the world as true cello apostles to warm the general public to the cello and classical music. With success!
October 28, 2026 will be something of a historic music date and not only Klassiek Centraal will be there, but hopefully you as a reader will manage to secure a spot in Studio 4 of Flagey in Brussels. The ladies and gentlemen cellists will treat you to a very varied programme, not too serious classical music, there has to be 'schwung' in it and after all it's about a very first meeting in person. It will be a mixture of all sorts of pieces arranged for the ensemble – the original compositions for 12 cellos are not exactly readily available – and atmosphere is guaranteed.
The concert is organized by Younison, international music management.
