The Brussels Chamber Orchestra, a talented group of eleven young virtuoso musicians from six different countries is coming to Raleigh on July 5th and will play a second concert on July 6th in Cary.
The BCO has played concerts around the world from Central Europe, Japan to Mexico. The concert in Raleigh on July 5th featuring music by Neilsen, Barber, Elgar and Tchaihowsky, will be their premiere concert in the United States. When they leave here they will be on to the Music Festival in the Hamptons in New York, then on to the Festival of Pietrasanta, Italy, back to Brussels for a series of concerts, then to Norway in the fall.
The Brussels Chamber Orchestra is known for their energy and their musical style. What is most unique about this group is that they play without a conductor; therefore they make all the musical decisions themselves, thus “owning” the music when they take the stage.
While in North Carolina, they will be performing:
