Experience Le Concert de l'Hostel Dieu live on December 18th

Le Concert de l'Hostel Dieu, a French ensemble founded by François-Pierre Goy, specializes in historically informed performance of 17th and 18th-century orchestral and vocal music.

The ensemble is recognized for its vibrant interpretations and commitment to utilizing period instruments and performance practices.

The concert on December 18, 2026 will take place at the Concertgebouw in Bruges, Belgium.

It’s specifically built for chamber music and recitals, prioritizing acoustics suitable for intimate performances.

The building itself is noted for its wooden construction and warm aesthetic; it’s intended to create a welcoming atmosphere for both performers and audiences. The Bruges Concertgebouw hosts a diverse range of classical music events throughout the year, becoming a significant cultural hub within the city.
