Queen Elisabeth Competition laureates reunite for a rare night of musical brilliance
In 2026 we are celebrating the 150th birthday of Queen Elisabeth, a monarch with an indomitable passion for music and culture. Her name lives on in the prestigious Queen Elisabeth Competition, which has been uncovering the most talented musicians for decades. To honour this anniversary, DE SINGEL, Klarafestival, Flagey and the Queen Elisabeth Competition are joining forces for a unique festival. DE SINGEL will play host to an exceptional musical reunion; winners and laureates of the Queen Elisabeth Competition will return to the stage - some after many years, others who exited only recently. What connects them? The competition that launched their careers, and the unparalleled craftsmanship that took them to the pinnacle of the world stage. This will be an evening full of virtuosity, emotion and rare musical encounters. A unique opportunity to hear some of today's greatest artists perform together again. This is more than a concert; this is history in sound.
