Artists in residence

In addition to being a home for music, dance, architecture and the visual arts, the Concertgebouw is also a home for five ensembles: the orchestra Anima Eterna Brugge, the vocal ensemble Vox Luminis and the dance company Rosas. These are all artists in whom we as an arts house are happy to invest extra and in every possible way: with rehearsal space, co-productions, recordings, content input and, of course, with a prominent presence on our stages.

Vox Luminis

Since they formed in 2004, Vox Luminis have grown to become one of the leading early music ensembles. They are now regular guests on all the major European, Asian and US stages. ‘It was time we had a real home,’ says artistic leader Lionel Meunier. ‘We’d already performed in Bruges several times and on each occasion we were warmly received by both the audience and the Concertgebouw team.’

Anima Eterna Brugge

Anima Eterna Brugge was founded in 1987 as a living laboratory for research into Baroque music. Over the next 30 years – half of them spent as Concertgebouw residents - that small string ensemble evolved into fully-fledged symphony orchestra, always playing the appropriate period instruments.

Rosas

Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker is both dancer and choreographer. As artistic director of the dance company Rosas, she has created a sizeable body of work, which uses musical structures and scores from different eras, from early music, to contemporary, to pop. Since 2009, the Concertgebouw has supported Rosas as a coproducer.
