Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel

Inaugurated in 1939 to fulfill the Queen’s wish to nurture exceptional young talent, the Music Chapel is a centre of artistic training with global reach. It offers courses in piano, violin, cello, viola, chamber music and voice to high-level students.

Since 1950, it has hosted finalists of the Queen Elisabeth International Competition.

A major reorganisation in 2004 refined its training and professional integration programs, built on three pillars: openness, flexibility, and excellence, led by internationally renowned masters.

The 2015 opening of a new wing, architecturally striking and functionally versatile, marked a new chapter. Today, the Chapel continues to operate with that same mission: an artistic programme of the highest order on a historic site.

Today, the Music Chapel management remains committed to developing infrastructure that respects the identity of the project and its historic site, while enabling the institution to offer an artistic programme of the highest standard, placing it among the world’s leading centres of musical excellence.
