Brussels Muzieque presents Chamber Jazz Consort concert on 16 June

Brussels Muzieque presents a concert with the Chamber Jazz Consort and acclaimed jazz pianist Aaron Parks for an evening of music blending the refinement of classical with the freedom of jazz on 16 June.

The unique collaboration – marking the season finale for the collaborative music platform – is staged in the beautiful setting of the Musical Instruments Museum (MIM) in Brussels’ Mont des Arts museum quarter.

It showcases special arrangements of Parks' compositions, designed specifically for this remarkable ensemble.

Parks has built a stellar career with his lyrical and innovative approach to the piano. After early studies at the Manhattan School of Music, where he was mentored by Kenny Barron, he quickly rose to prominence as part of Terence Blanchard's ensemble, contributing to Grammy-winning recordings. 

Over the years, the pianist has performed with a host of jazz icons, including Christian Scott, Kendrick Scott and Joshua Redman. His critically acclaimed albums, such as Invisible Cinema and Arborescence, have established him as one of the most influential voices in jazz today.

Chamber Jazz Consort, an ensemble known for merging classical and jazz, is no stranger to prestigious appearances, having recently performed at the world-renowned Concertgebouw Amsterdam.

Their debut album, Blue in Green, has been praised for its imaginative interpretations and exceptional musicianship. Last season, the ensemble collaborated with jazz legend Lars Danielsson, further cementing their reputation as boundary-pushing musicians.

With Anton Jakimenko (clarinet), Oene van Geel (viola), Sarah Oates (violin), Nadja Nevolovitsch (violin), and Eduardo Tonietto (cello), the ensemble brings together five musicians of different nationalities, each contributing a unique perspective to this dynamic fusion of genres.

Tickets: €40; €25 for students.
