Experience Lucio Gallo live on November 13th

Lucio Gallo, an Italian composer known for a distinctly contemporary style often characterized by spectralist techniques and a focus on timbral exploration, will present a concert at La Monnaie in Brussels on November 13, 2026. His compositions frequently involve extended instrumental techniques and explore the boundaries between acoustic sound and electronic processing, often drawing inspiration from natural phenomena and philosophical concepts. Gallo’s work has been commissioned by prominent ensembles and orchestras internationally.

La Monnaie (De Munt in Dutch), officially the Royal Opera of Wallonia-Brussels, is a historic opera house located in Brussels, Belgium. Founded in 1819, it holds a significant place in Belgian cultural life and European operatic history. Originally built as a theatre for French opera during the United Kingdom of the Netherlands, it quickly became a focal point for Romantic opera performances. Throughout its history, La Monnaie has premiered numerous works by composers including Donizetti and Mascagni.

The building itself underwent substantial renovations in the late 20th and early 21st centuries to modernize facilities while preserving its architectural heritage. It operates as both an opera company presenting staged productions and a concert venue hosting orchestral performances and other musical events.
