The coming concert stretch runs Thursday 24 through Sunday 27 September, yet one evening already contains a whole weekend’s worth of decisions. On Thursday, BOZAR hosts three contrasting concerts across its rooms: the Belgian National Orchestra with conductor Hankyeol Yoon in the Henry Le Boeuf Hall at 19:00, Flat Earth Society’s The Coltrane Mutations in Hall M at 20:00, and Sega Bodega’s unadulter8 live AV set in Terarken at 20:30. This is a practical Brussels guide built around that crowded address: pick one room, arrive with intent, and let the other two remain productive reasons to return to the season programme.[1][2][3][4]
The strongest thread is the way BOZAR places formal concert-hall attention beside amplified, body-level listening. The institution frames its 2026–27 season as “Reassembling,” with emphasis on connections among genres, disciplines and audiences. Thursday’s timetable gives that idea a concrete scale. The three sets are simultaneous enough to rule out casual room-hopping, while their locations clarify the choice: the Henry Le Boeuf Hall for the orchestra, Hall M for Flat Earth Society, and Terarken for Sega Bodega. Each format carries its own sense of duration and focus, from a one-hour symphonic presentation to longer evening sets.[1][2][3][4]
A guided orchestral entrance at 19:00
Start early with Belgian National Orchestra & Yoon, billed as a Symphonic Date around Rimsky-Korsakov’s Sheherazade. The programme places Hankyeol Yoon on the podium, with Thomas Vanderveken presenting the score, and BOZAR describes the suite through colour, tension, fantasy and recurring motifs. That presenter role matters for listeners who want an entry point into a large orchestral work without turning the evening into a lecture. The 19:00 start and one-hour listed running time also make this the clearest option for a concise Thursday outing, held in the Henry Le Boeuf Hall at BOZAR.[1]

Flat Earth Society inside the Coltrane centennial
At 20:00, Flat Earth Society brings The Coltrane Mutations to Hall M. BOZAR presents the fifteen-piece collective’s project as arrangements and interpretations of Coltrane material alongside new compositions, with Peter Vermeersch, Peter Vandenberghe and company at its centre. The concert sits within a wider Brussels tribute produced with Ancienne Belgique and Kaaitheater for John Coltrane’s centenary year. The larger context is useful: 2026 marks 100 years since Coltrane’s birth, and BOZAR’s season extends the theme through concerts, dance, film and talks. This is the choice for listeners drawn to a large ensemble treating a towering jazz catalogue as living material.[2][4][5][6]
Sega Bodega’s Terarken transmission at 20:30
Sega Bodega begins half an hour later in Terarken with unadulter8, an audiovisual live show whose visuals come from Total Emotional Awareness. BOZAR identifies Sega Bodega as the alias of Salvador Navarrete and traces his work through NUXXE, collaborations and production credits, while placing his sound around deconstructed club, UK bass and hyperpop. The venue also describes the show’s title as a reference to “Adulter8” from Dennis and notes a more ambient direction in recent releases. Terarken is therefore a distinct destination inside BOZAR: electronics, projected image and a late 20:30–23:00 window, with earplugs available at the listed sound level.[3][4]
Choose the room, then recheck the details
For Thursday 24 September, choose the Belgian National Orchestra & Yoon for a guided 19:00 orchestral encounter, Flat Earth Society for a 20:00 Coltrane-centennial collective, or Sega Bodega for a 20:30 live AV set. All three take place at BOZAR, Rue Ravenstein 23, Brussels, yet each uses a separate room and ticket listing. Build in arrival time, especially around the close start times, and check BOZAR’s official event pages again before leaving for doors, availability, access information and any programme changes.[1][2][3]
