Dear music lover, 

What to write at the start of a promising year for AB while the world is in turmoil? Is it really appropriate to make a lot of noise? Well, it seems to me that there’s no better time to share some bright prospects. So here goes! 

Not only will 2025 be bursting at the seams with musical goodness at AB, but it’s also the year in which we’ll open our new work and performance space in a fully renovated side wing. With the purchase of the former Flemish-Moroccan centre Darna, we’ve finally acquired the space we needed for socialising, discussion and meetings.  

All of that means that 2025 will be a key step on AB’s path of transformation from concert hall to house of music. That’s why we look forward to offering you – our guests – as many musical delicacies as possible in the best possible conditions. After all, we have to earn our 350,000 visitors year on year! Happy New Year!

General Manager
