Imagine Paradise

With this message we begin our triptych on people. In the company of world famous artists and the stars of the future, this year we move between utopia and reality, between the beautiful and the abhorrent, between hope and imagination, between pure aesthetic pleasure and pressing issues for society.

Your presence in large numbers at the next KlaraFestival will support us in our conviction that an adventurous approach to classical music strikes a chord in you all.
Expect once again a lively programme, seasoned with surprising dialogue between music and other forms of art. As a broadcast festival you will find us not only at Brussels’ theatres and concert halls, at train stations and nightclubs, but also every day on Klara. In addition to live reports from the festival, they will be bringing you details of the programme and themes. You will even find the KlaraFestival on Musiq’3 and on many foreign radio stations via the European Broadcasting Union.
