Jennifur
Emotionally driven electronic music mixing indie influences, UK bass, electronica, and classical music
Jennifur, a Belgian producer and DJ, creates electronic love ballads that live in the space between head and heart, control and surrender. His music is an exploration of the hidden — the thrilling and the melancholic — capturing moments of transition, like the suspended time of a car ride between Point A and Point B. It’s introspective yet cinematic, weaving narratives for those navigating the search for motivation, connection, solitude, and love. His sound bridges Indie Rock, UK Bass, Electronica, and Classical influences, with tracks that feel like scoring a romcom.
Since debuting in 2022 with Nowhere, Now Here — a soundtrack created for the video game Shredders — Jennifur has continued to evolve his artistry. His 2023 LP, Things Don’t Change Until They Do (Sweet Sun Records), explores the bittersweet nature of growth and memory. His name soon surfaced in key tastemaker outlets, including NME, Metal Magazine, DJ Mag, FAZEMag, and more. For now he is gearing up to release his third record, set for release after the summer.

Noonzy
Groovy indie pop with a playful feel
LIZLiz is the musical project of Lies Neyrinck (21), a singer-songwriter from West Flanders. She shares her stories through a unique blend of folk, indie and pop. Her poetic lyrics explore themes of guilt, grief and youth. Intimate, honest and somewhere between the worlds of Phoebe Bridgers, Gracie Abrams and Glen Hansard.NOONZYThe Antwerp-based songwriter Noonzy (Arnaud Stockbroekx) blends playfulness with groovy electronic influences in his alternative indie-pop tracks. Following his self-produced 2022 EP ‘Post-it-tapes,’ which earned him a spot in the finals of the Nieuwe Lichting competition a year later, he evolved in 2025 with ‘Puppies’ ([PIAS] Recordings) toward larger, groovy productions that gave his artistic identity a sharper edge. Now he is letting go of his former DIY, lo-fi approach and making room for experimentation and a loss of control within an indie-pop framework. He proves this on his first studio album, created in collaboration with producer Nathan Jenkins (Bullion): an album that feels familiar, yet is full of musical surprises and alternative pop songs. The first single, “Yeah (I’m In),” offers a great preview of the album.

Brahms & Tchaikovsky
Two monuments of Romantic music meet in an evening of pure intensity and emotion. In his Second Piano Concerto, Brahms conceived the piano and orchestra as equal protagonists in a compelling narrative. The work is often described as a symphony with soloist, and for good reason. Expanding the traditional concerto form to four movements, Brahms reveals an exceptionally broad expressive palette. From robust power to the most delicate lyricism - most famously in the cello solo of the third movement - the music unfolds with both emotional depth and formidable demands. Pianist Masaya Kamei (5th prize in the Queen Elisabeth Competition 2025) rises to the challenge with precision and clarity, shaping the work's sweeping tensions with authority and insight. The evening continues with Tchaikovsky's Fifth Symphony, a work in which the composer lays bare his inner struggles and Romantic soul. The recurring fate motif colours the symphony from start to finish, yet the music never remains uniformly dark. Melancholy, hope, passion and theatrical flair alternate seamlessly. Under the direction of Mikko Franck, the symphony becomes a dramatic journey, culminating in a finale that overwhelms and refuses to let go.Meet Masaya Kamei at Bozar! During the concert interval, he will be present for a signing session. As part of the Piano Legends subscription series, and subject to the artist's availability.Thanks to the

Walk off the Earth
Canadian pop sensation returns to Belgium
Walk off the Earth went viral in 2012 with their now legendary guitar cover of Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used To Know”. The music video, in which the five musicians play a single guitar in unison, immediately marked their international breakthrough. The band has long since moved beyond being a cover band, becoming a global success with billions of streams and a rock-solid fanbase. The two-time Juno Award winners continue to reinvent themselves without losing their recognisable, unique sound. In 2023, they scored another massive global hit with the single “My Stupid Heart”, and their recent albums ‘Good Company’ and ‘Enter Sandman’ were also a huge success. Sitting still is clearly not in their vocabulary, as their brand-new single ‘Knock'Em Down’ proves that their creative engine is still running. This new music perfectly reflects what Walk off the Earth stands for today: musical growth, optimism and an unbreakable sense of togetherness. It is precisely that unmistakable passion and joy that they are bringing to Brussels on 23 October.

Azymuth
More than 50 years ago, on the coast of Rio de Janeiro, the completely new sound of the jazz fusion trio Azymuth was heard for the first time. Since then, the trio has recorded more than 30 albums and gained worldwide recognition with their self-proclaimed samba doido (“crazy samba”), a distinctive fusion of jazz-funk, samba, and electronics. With their latest album Marca Passo (2025, Far Out Recordings), Azymuth celebrates five decades in music. Bassist Alex Malheiros, together with keyboardist Dudu Viana and drummer Renato Massa, keeps the trio sounding as vibrant as ever, driven by the same cosmic energy and masterful virtuosity that have defined Azymuth from the very beginning. The trio remains true to the formula that has made them irresistible for half a century: a whole greater than the sum of its parts and a groove that sets everything in motion.

MILES AHEAD Celebrating 100 Years of Miles Davis
How can we pay tribute to the great Miles Davis with two saxophones?
For the 100th anniversary of Miles Davis’ birth, Stéphane Mercier and Vincent Mardens take on an ambitious challenge: to explore Miles’ extraordinary musical journey, from his earliest recordings with Charlie Parker through the different periods and musicians that shaped his career.
Stéphane Mercier plays the C-melody saxophone, while Vincent Mardens plays tenor, alto and soprano saxophones. Together, they revisit Miles’ music from their own perspective, supported by a dream rhythm section.
Across two sets, Miles Ahead travels from bebop to hard bop, through the music associated with Cannonball Adderley and John Coltrane, with a nod to the remarkable collaborations with Gil Evans, before moving towards jazz-rock and fusion.
Two saxophonists, a great rhythm section and almost half a century of music to explore in just two sets — something of a Mission Impossible!

In Don Juan, Richard Strauss portrays the ultimate seducer in all his glory and tragedy: restless, yearning, and ultimately — inevitably — confronted by his own limitations. A vibrant symphonic poem full of youthful energy and reckless seduction, ending in a pregnant silence. This stillness is broken by the massive soundworld of Iannis Xenakis: in Empreintes, he makes the orchestra sound like an overwhelming force of nature, creating a fascinating listening experience that pushes known musical boundaries.
Then, Ludwig van Beethoven dots the i's, bringing the essence of the symphony back to the fore — albeit with a mischievous wink. His Eighth Symphony is an ode to vitality and is packed with musical wit. Although Beethoven was struggling with personal setbacks during this period, he delivered a compact, energetic, and upbeat symphony. A powerful shot of energy to close the evening.
