About this event
Andrei Irimia – Live at Église Notre-Dame de Laeken European Tour 2026 | Lights & Shadows Following last year’s sold-out performance, Romanian composer and pianist Andrei Irimia returns to the breathtaking Église Notre-Dame de Laeken with an evolved vision of his sonic universe. Renowned for his unmistakable sound, Andrei Irimia crafts music that exists between worlds, moving effortlessly from fragile intimacy to a powerful cinematic scale. Moving beyond the traditional boundaries of neoclassicism, his work is defined by a sophisticated blend of minimalist piano, haunting strings, and subtle digital accents. His compositions unfold with a meticulous textural layering and a noir-ish cinematic depth, creating soundscapes that feel both timeless and evocative. At the piano, Andrei Irimia performs with hypnotic intensity and quiet vulnerability, transforming each note into an intimate emotional confession. His current project explores a restless, atmospheric tension that is both visceral and sophisticated, perfectly suited for an audience that appreciates the more immersive side of modern composition. Alongside violinist Răzvan Păun and cellist Thibault Solorzano, he weaves expansive landscapes where music becomes a space for contemplation. Together, they create an experience that dissolves the boundaries between performer and audience—less a performance, and more a shared moment of stillness and collective introspection. Part of an international tour that includes the prestigious Berliner Philharmonie, the project returns to Brussels following warmly welcomed performances at Barcelona’s Palau de la Música Catalana, Heimathafen Neukölln, and La Scène Parisienne. Join us for an evening of raw emotion and refined sonic beauty, a musical journey that lingers long after the final note fades into silence.
