EKHO4 includes:

​

A big Gala concert with Sonia Wieder-Atherton and her friends and a serie of concerts  featuring wonderful  belgian and international quartets and ensembles.

Masterclasses open to the public. with the Zemlinsky Quartet, the Amôn Quartet, and Sonia Wieder-Atherton.

A special feature of this fourth edition will be the matronage by two internationally recognised women, leaders in their respective fields, the cellist Sonia Wieder-Atherton and violin maker Andrea Frandsen. With their active and inspiring presence they will offer us a portrayal of the evolution of the role of women in music and instrument making over the centuries.

A series of four conferences on this subject, put together in collaboration with the ULB, is being staged at Flagey during the semi-finals of the Queen Elisabeth Competition.
