deFilharmonie

A modern and stylistically flexible symphony orchestra, the Royal Flemish Philharmonic demonstrates an artistic flair which allows for a variety of styles from classical to contemporary in a historically authentic manner. Jaap van Zweden, who has been appointed Chief Conductor, is responsible for the orchestras main repertoire. Drawing on his vast orchestral experience, and as former concertmaster of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, he contributes to the unique character of the Royal Flemish Philharmonic. He works in close co-operation with Principal Conductor Philippe Herreweghe, who makes use of his specific background in his readings of (pre)Romantic music. Martyn Brabbins is Principle Guest Conductor.
