Experience Vijay Iyer live on October 30th

Vijay Iyer is scheduled to perform at Bozar, in Brussels, Belgium on October 30, 2026. Iyer is a highly acclaimed American composer and pianist recognized for his innovative and complex musical style. His work blends jazz improvisation with elements of Indian classical music, mathematics, and electronic music, often exploring themes of identity, history, and social justice. He frequently utilizes polyrhythms and intricate harmonic structures, resulting in music that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant. Iyer has received numerous awards including a MacArthur “Genius” Grant in 2013 and multiple Grammy nominations.

Bozar – the Centre for Fine Arts – is a prominent arts complex located in the heart of Brussels. Originally constructed for the 1935 World's Fair, the building itself is a significant example of Art Deco architecture designed by Victor Horta and Joseph van der Straeten (post-Horta). Throughout its history, Bozar has hosted a diverse range of artistic disciplines including music (classical, jazz, contemporary), dance, theatre, literature, cinema and visual arts. It functions as a multidisciplinary cultural hub dedicated to presenting established artists alongside emerging talent and actively promoting artistic creation and dialogue.
