Music and the training of young people mean a lot to me, and I am delighted to see them here at the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel. My dearest wish is that the level of excellence of the Music Chapel will help young talents to give their best and to create an international musical elite, beyond borders and cultures.

Célébration et Développement

La 10ème saison artistique (2013-2014) depuis la refonte de la Chapelle Musicale en 2004 s’ouvre avec un cru exceptionnel de jeunes talents en résidence (47 jeunes issus de 20 nationalités). Novembre 2013, une nouvelle parution : La Chapelle Musicale pour- suit sa politique d’enregistrement avec le groupe Outhere en sortant l’intégrale de l’oeuvre pour violon et/ou violoncelle et orchestre de Saint-Saëns en coproduction avec l’Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège sous la direction de Christian Arming. Cette sortie marque aussi le début d’une collaboration avec le label français Zig-Zag Territoires. Du 27 au 30 novembre 2013, plusieurs d’entre eux seront sur scène à l’occasion de l’annuel « Music Chapel Festival » coproduit avec Flagey, consacré aux compositeurs Schubert, Schumann et Mendelssohn : douze concerts, deux orchestres, l’Orchestre Royal de Chambre de Wallonie et le Brussels Philharmonic, deux chœurs, le VRK et la chorale d’Equinox et des dizaines d’interprètes exceptionnels (Dumay, Hoffman, Braley, Le Sage, Caussé, Pires, etc.). L’année 2013 se terminera avec deux concerts exceptionnels, l’un avec l’Orchestre de la Monnaie et Pulcinella de Stravinsky (19 décembre à la Monnaie) et l’autre avec l’Orchestre National de Belgique et un concert surprise choisi par le public (22 décembre à Bozar). L’année 2014 marque une étape importante dans l’histoire de la Chapelle Musicale, celle de son 75ème anniversaire. Cette année sera marquée à la fois par une année faste en terme de productions et programmes de concerts et aussi par la concrétisation d’un projet de développement des infrastructures lancé il y a plusieurs années déjà : 2014, les festivités du 75ème anniversaire. Nombreux seront les moments intenses d’émotion musicale à partager avec les jeunes solistes de la Chapelle Musicale et certains de leurs maîtres, dont notamment :

4 « Les Mamelles de Tiresias » de Francis Poulenc à la Monnaie du 15 au 19 janvier 2014. Le concert de Gala du « 75ème » le 28 janvier 2014 à Bozar (Orchestre Royal de Chambre de Wallonie, Dumay, Hoffman, Pires et solistes de la Chapelle Musicale). Le « Flagey Piano Days » du 19 au 22 février 2014 à Flagey. Le « Prelude Concert » du 11 mars 2014 à Bozar, chanteurs et leur maître, José van Dam. Entourés de l’Orchestre National de Belgique et du chef Patrick Fournillier. Une tournée « 75ème » avec deFilharmonie du 18 au 20 septembre 2014 et avec l’Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège en novembre de la même année. Et enfin, pour terminer l’année anniversaire, le prochain festival annuel consacré à Beethoven à Flagey du 2 au 6 décembre 2014. Enfin la lumière verte s’allume ! Depuis le 16 septembre dernier, le chantier du New Building est lancé ! Un événement qui clôture dix ans de refonte intense du contenu programmatique et le début d’une nouvelle page de l’histoire de la Chapelle Musicale et, tout à la fois, la fin d’un long processus de réflexion architecturale et administratif. Cet aménagement et extension permettront de poursuivre la nouvelle dynamique lancée depuis 2004 qui, au terme de la construction, pourra offrir à l’ensemble des jeunes musiciens et de leurs profes- seurs une résidence adaptée aux nouveaux projets et à notre époque (20 studios de logement complémentaires, spécificité de la Chapelle Musicale, 3 nouvelles salles de musique, de répétition et d’enregistrement indispensables à son activité, de nouveaux lieux de vie qui permettent de faire évoluer ces artistes dans un véritable laboratoire musical permanent). L’ouverture officielle du bâtiment est programmée pour fin 2014 et viendra clôturer une année très « exceptionnelle » pour la Chapelle Musicale.

5 Viering en Ontwikkeling

Het tiende artistieke seizoen (2013-2014) sinds de herboetsering van de Muziekkapel in 2004 gaat van start met een uitzonderlijke lichting jong talent in residentie (47 jongeren, 20 verschillende na- tionaliteiten). November 2013, uitgifte nieuwe CD: de Muziekkapel, in samenwerking met de groep Outhere, zet haar CD-opnamebeleid verder met de uitgifte van de volledige werken voor viool en cello van St. Saëns, in coproductie met het Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège onder leiding van Christian Arming. Deze nieuwe CD bezegelt ook de start van de samenwerking met het Franse label Zig-Zag Territoires. Een aantal staat tussen 27 en 30 november 2013 op het podium ter gelegenheid van het jaarlijkse ‘Music Chapel Festival’, een coproductie met Flagey in het teken van de componisten Schubert, Schumann en Mendelssohn. Met op het programma twaalf concerten, twee or- kesten, het Orchestre Royal de Chambre de Wallonie en het Brus- sels Philharmonic, twee koren, het VRK en het koor van Equinox, en tientallen buitengewone vertolkers (Dumay, Hoffman, Braley, Le Sage, Caussé, Pires, etc.). Het jaar 2013 eindigt met twee zeer bijzondere concerten, het ene met het Orkest van de Munt en Pulcinella van Stravinsky (19 december in de Munt) en het andere met het Nationaal Orkest van België voor een verrassingsconcert dat het publiek zelf kiest (22 december in de Bozar). Het jaar 2014 wordt een mijlpaal in de geschiedenis van de Muziek- kapel, die dan haar 75ste verjaardag viert. Het wordt beslist een boei- end jaar. Enerzijds zit het vol producties en concertprogramma’s en anderzijds wordt concreet vorm gegeven aan een project voor de verdere ontwikkeling van de infrastructuren, dat enkele jaren gele- den al op de sporen werd gezet: 2014, de festiviteiten voor de 75ste verjaardag. Uiteraard wordt er gefeest met tal van momenten van intense emo- tie, die worden gedeeld met de jonge solisten van de Muziekkapel en 6 met sommige van hun meesters. Onder meer: ‘Les Mamelles de Tiresias’ van Francis Poulenc in de Munt, van 15 tot 19 januari 2014. Het Galaconcert van de ‘75ste’, op 28 januari 2014 in de Bozar (Orchestre Royal de Chambre de Wallonie, Dumay, Hoffman, Pires & solisten van de Muziekkapel). De ‘Flagey Piano Days’, van 19 tot 22 februari 2014 in Flagey. Het ‘Prelude Concert’ van 11 maart 2014 in de Bozar: zangers en hun meester, José van Dam, omringd door het Nationaal Orkest van Bel- gië en dirigent Patrick Fournillier. Een ‘75ste’ tournee, met deFilharmonie, van 18 tot 20 september 2014 en met het Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège in november van dat zelfde jaar. En tot slot, om het verjaardagsjaar af te sluiten, het volgende jaarlijkse festival dat zal gewijd zijn aan Beethoven, in het Flagey, van 2 tot 6 december 2014. Eindelijk staat het licht op groen! Sinds 16 september lopen de werken voor de bouw van de New Building! Deze gebeurtenis zet de kroon op tien jaar van grondige hertekening van de programma- inhoud en is de aanzet van een nieuwe bladzijde in de geschiedenis van de Muziekkapel. Tegelijk is dit ook het einde van een lang proces van architecturale en administratieve denkoefeningen. Deze inrichting en uitbreiding zullen mogelijk maken om verder te gaan met de hele dynamiek die sinds 2004 werd uitgebouwd en die, zodra de bouwwerken klaar zijn, alle jonge musici en hun docenten een verblijfsruimte zal bieden die op en top past bij het nieuwe project en bij onze tijd (20 bijkomende woonstudio’s - de eigenheid van de Muziekkapel -, drie nieuwe repetitie-, muziek- en opnamezalen die onmisbaar zijn voor haar activiteit, nieuwe leefruimtes waarin deze artiesten kunnen evolueren in een echt doorlopend muziekla- boratorium). De officiële opening van het gebouw is gepland voor eind 2014 en zal een zeer ‘uitzonderlijk’ jaar voor de Muziekkapel afronden.

7 Celebration and Development

The 10th artistic season (2013-2014) since the restructuring of the Music Chapel in 2004 opens with an exceptional selection of young talents in residence (47 young people of 20 nationalities). November 2013, a new release: the Music Chapel pursues her CD- recording policy in collaboration with the Outhere group, in releasing the entire works for violin and cello of St. Saëns in coproduction with the Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège under the direction of Christian Arming. This release also marks the start of the collaboration with the French label Zig-Zag Territoires. From 27 to 30 November 2013, several of them will be onstage on the occasion of the annual Music Chapel Festival coproduced with Flagey, devoted to the composers Schubert, Schumann and Men- delssohn: twelve concerts, two orchestras, the Orchestre Royal de Chambre de Wallonie and the Brussels Philharmonic, two choirs, the VRK and the Equinox chorale, and dozens of exceptional performers (Dumay, Hoffman, Braley, Le Sage, Caussé, Pires, etc.). The year 2013 will end with two exceptional concerts, one with the Orchestra of La Monnaie and Stravinsky’s Pulcinella (19 December at La Monnaie) and the other with the National Orchestra of Belgium and a surprise concert chosen by the public (22 December at Bozar). The year 2014 marks an important step in the history of the Music Chapel: its 75th anniversary. It will be a splendid year in terms of productions and programmes of concerts, and will be distinguished by the realisation of an infrastructure development project launched some years ago: 2014, the 75th anniversary festivities. There will be numerous moments of intense musical emotion to share with the young soloists of the Music Chapel and some of their teachers, including in particular: “Les Mamelles de Tiresias” by Francis Poulenc, at La Monnaie from 15 to 19 January 2014.

8 The “75th” Gala Concert on 28 January 2014 at Bozar (Orchestre Ro- yal de Chambre de Wallonie, Dumay, Hoffman, Pires and soloists of the Music Chapel). ”Flagey Piano Days” from 19 to 22 February 2014 at Flagey. The “Prelude Concert” on 11 March 2014 at Bozar; vocalists and their teacher, José van Dam, supported by the National Orchestra of Bel- gium and conductor Patrick Fournillier. A “75th” tour with deFilharmonie (the Royal Flemish Philharmonic) from 18 to 20 September 2014, and with the Orchestre Philharmoni- que Royal de Liège in November of this year. And finally, to end the anniversary year, the next annual festival devoted to Beethoven at Flagey, from 2 to 6 December 2014. We finally get the green light! Construction work on the New Buil- ding has begun as of 16 September! An event that closes ten years of intensive restructuring of the program content and the beginning of a new page in the history of the Music Chapel and, at the same time, the end of a long process of architectural and administrative reflection. This development and expansion will allow the new dynamic launched since 2004 to continue; at the end of construction, we will be able to offer all the young musicians and their instructors a residence adapted to the new program and to our times (20 additional studio flats, a special feature of the Music Chapel; three new music, rehear- sal and recording rooms essential to its activity; new living quarters that will allow these artists to develop in a genuine permanent musical laboratory). The official opening of the building is scheduled for the end of 2014 and will close a very “exceptional” year for the Music Chapel.

Music Chapel Festival

19 Music Chapel Festival The Romantics

Après Chopin en 2010, Brahms en 2011, et les compositeurs fran- çais « du tournant de siècle » en 2012, la Chapelle Musicale Reine Elisabeth et Flagey s’associent à nouveau pour le festival du mois de novembre, devenu désormais un « must » de la programma- tion des deux partenaires. En novembre 2013, les Romantiques seront à l’honneur : Félix Mendelssohn, Robert Schumann et Franz Schubert.

En coproduction avec l’Orchestre Royal de Chambre de Wallonie, le Brussels Philharmonic sous la baguette d’Hervé Niquet, et le Vlaams Radio Koor, les jeunes solistes de la Chapelle Musicale et certains de leurs maîtres – Augustin Dumay, Gary Hoffman, Tatiana Samouil, Sylvia Thereza – navigueront entre musique de chambre et répertoire symphonique. Nous pourrons ainsi réaliser un tour d’horizon des plus belles oeuvres romantiques : Concerto en mi mineur pour violon de Mendelssohn, Concerto pour piano de Schumann, la Truite de Schubert ou encore l’Octuor de Men- delssohn...

A noter tout spécialement, la participation exceptionnelle de prestigieux musiciens et partenaires de longue date dela Chapelle Musicale, que nous ne nous lassons pas d’entendre : Frank Braley, Eric Le Sage, Gérard Caussé, Vineta Sareika, ou encore Helmut Deutsch à l’occasion d’une master-class publique pour les chanteurs du réseau enoa.

Tout y est pour un festival exceptionnel, célébrant les grands compositeurs de la période romantique. Nous vous attendons !

20 Music Chapel Festival The Romantics

In 2010 was Chopin aan de beurt, in 2011 Brahms, in 2012 ston- den de Franse componisten van de “eeuwwisseling” in de kijker. Dit jaar slaan de Muziekkapel Koningin Elisabeth en Flagey de handen opnieuw in elkaar voor een nieuwe editie van het festival dat ondertussen voor beide partners uitgegroeid is tot een “must” van de programmering. In november 2013 komen de Romantici in de focus staan: Felix Mendelssohn, Robert Schu- mann en Franz Schubert.

Samen met enkele van hun meesters, waaronder Augustin Dumay, Gary Hoffman, Tatiana Samouil en Sylvia Thereza, in coproductie met hetOrchestre Royal de Chambre de Wallonie, het Brussels Philharmonic onder leiding van Hervé Niquet, en het Vlaams Radio Koor, zullen de jonge solisten van de Muziekkapel de mooiste kamermuziek- en orkestwerken uit het Romantisch repertoire vertolken. Op het programma staan Mendelssohns Vioolconcerto in e, het Pianoconcerto van Schumann, de Forel van Schubert of het Octet van Mendelssohn.

Heel bijzonder voor deze editie is de exclusieve medewerking van gevestigde muzikanten en trouwe partners van de Muziekkapel, die ons telkens opnieuw weten te fascineren: Frank Braley, Eric Le Sage, Gérard Caussé, Vineta Sareika en Helmut Deutsch, in het kader van een publieke masterclass voor de zangers van het enoa-netwerk.

Het belooft een uitzonderlijk festival te worden ter ere vande grootste componisten uit de Romantiek. U wordt er verwacht!

44 © S. Zezza In 1958, Benjamin Britten programmed an opera by his friend Francis Poulenc for that year’s Aldeburgh Festival. His festival had a tradition of performing new opera - not just by Britten - and over twenty years, an established team of singers, directors and designers had produced many works for the first time in the atmospheric little Jubilee Hall in Aldeburgh. Due to the space limitations Britten decided to arrang the orchestral score of Les Mamelles de Tiresias into a version for 2 pianos which he and Poulenc would play. Peter Pears took the role of the husband (transposed up for tenor) and there was also a new translation of the libretto made by himself, Britten and the singer/ designer Colin Graham.

51 Music Chapel Center for excellence Queen Elisabeth Musical Voyage Maria João Pires, piano Julien Libeer, piano Julien Brocal, piano September 2013

53 Vandenbosch © D. Center of excellence For high-level training

The Music Chapel represents a center of excellence for high-level training, that is based on three concepts:

1. Shaping the musician’s artistic personality 2. Improving his or her instrumental or voice technique 3. Launching a professional career through a particularly extensive program of concerts and recitals

Because every student is different, we believe it is important to establish an individually-tailored instruction, and take students’ profiles into consideration.

The presence of masters in residence, who pursue a very intensive professional career, and their role in guiding young musical talents, consti- tute the corner stone of our educational project. By collaborating with a mentor, it creates a genuine companionship feeling. But in addition to the six masters in residence, the Music Chapel also welcomes visiting artists. Regularly, leading classical artists are giving master classes, workshops, chamber music coaching, and performances side-by-side with our young soloists.

In cooperation with the Fondation Benoit, all the artists, and the team, we created a new department: the Artists Village. The focus is put on the students and their everyday lives, highlighting the psychological part of the residency.

This new « mood » and dynamic, based on a more human aspect, help students managing their lives better and creating a genuine companionship feeling. Therefore, the Artists Village promotes five factors to reach a coherence between the philosophy of instruction & the quality of the environment : A more dynamic residency A quality cooking A balance between the physical and psychological state Artists Village activities The new students’ logistic and social support

Cooperating with many artists and professionals, we hope to invigorate the residency and welcome all artists in a friendly and warm manner.

The Music Chapel bolsters the importance to support its young artists through the beginning of their career, helping them make a name for themselves. We take their professional background into consideration, highlight their strengths to project the best image of themselves to the public, and support them plan their career path in the long term. The career development relies on two concepts:

1. Promotion

The Music Chapel promotes its young musicians and their art, to help them gain exposure. We collaborate with the music label Outher (Fuga Libera/Zig Zag Territoires : Music Chapel CD Collection), to release one CD per year.

2. Student assistance

The Music Chapel also supports students by increasing their promotional value using different communication channels. For this to happen, we help them: elaborate their resume, press pack, and demo recordings develop an international press campaign through press releases and news conferences encourage European networking, thanks to the Impresario’s days that we organise in Belgium, and soon in London promote students through the internet, with social sharing

64 NEWS from enoa - European Project enoa is a network of European opera academies which counts eleven full members and five associated partners from 12 different European countries. Thanks to the support from the European Commission Culture Programme, enoa is able to offer an ambitious five-year-programme, including workshops, co-productions, co-commissions and its own mobility scheme. enoa’s activities are designed to offer young opera professionals the best possible conditions to start a career in a globalised context; enoa’s goal is also to foster a common reflection on the future of opera and to encourage the creation, promotion and dissemination of new opera works in Europe.

This ambitious project consists of a recording of the complete music for violin and orchestra and cello and orchestra by Saint-Saëns. It marks the beginning of an intensive collaboration between Zig-Zag Territories and the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel. This institution based in Brussels is an internationally renowned centre for artistic training, reserved for top- level young musical talents. Each year, new musicians prepare for their solo career at the Music Chapel, helped by great performers such as the violinist Augustin Dumay, the cellist Gary Hoffman, and the pianist Ma- ria João Pires. Accompanied by the Orchestre Philharmonique Royal de Liège under the direction of the Viennese conductor Christian Arming, the young violinists and cellists of the Music Chapel present not just the most frequently performed concertos of Saint-Saëns, but also a chance to disco- ver such little-known works as the First and Second violin concertos and the Second Cello Concerto.

Le projet Equinox, sous la direction artistique de Maria João Pires, se consacre à la création et au développement de chorales d’enfants. L’objectif, simple, est de partager l’excellence artistique de la Chapelle Musicale Reine Elisabeth, due à ses maîtres et à ses jeunes musiciens, avec des publics qui n’y ont pas naturellement accès, comme par exemple les enfants de quartiers défavorisés. Il s’agit d’un travail de fond, dans la durée, qui tend à «enraciner» la pratique musicale dans des milieux où les conditions ne sont a priori pas réunies pour qu’elle s’épanouisse. Si l’on considère que la musique est une valeur contribuant à un certain bien-vivre, alors on ne peut que souhaiter qu’elle soit accessible à tous et toutes. فاصنإ TENSAAF KEPELBAGAIAN BUDAYA ARKADASLIK

Equinox project dedicates to the creation and the development of children’s choirs under the artistic direction of Maria João Pires. Its goal is simple: to share the artistic excellence of the Chapelle Musicale Reine Elisabeth through the auspices of its teachers and young musicians with members of society that would not normally have access to it, for example children from deprived neighbourhoods. The work is profound and continuous. Its aim is to implant the practice of music in areas which until now have been completely barren. If we consider that music enhances our sense of well-being, then surely we must wish to make it accessible to all.
