Brussels Philharmonic New Year's Concert at Bruges
We're just back from a great concert.
Annelien van Wauwe is a rising star on the clarinet.
The Brussels Philharmonic has toured through Europe, the States and Asia, and is a very solid orchestra.
A surprisingly young but confident conductor, who learnt his job as an assistent to Barenboim.
The concert was sold out.
I suspect some people came especially for the waltzes, but the rest of the programme was much more interesting.
