CONDUCTOR
The Ensemble Orchestral Européen is a chamber orchestra founded by Frédéric Chaine with the aim of bringing the young audiences closer to classical music and promoting European musical talents. Based in Brussels, the ensemble is primarily composed of graduates from the Royal Conservatories of Belgium.
Frédéric Chaine, with his ensemble, creates educational concerts for young people. In both 2023 and 2024 he performed several concerts of “Mozart fait son show” and “L’Apprenti Sorcier” in Brussels’s cultural centers for an audience of 2500 children.
In April 2025, the ensemble will invite the jazz violinist Florin Niculescu to perform a unique concert at the Bourse of Brussels merging classical musicians and gypsy jazz soloists proposing a new interpretation of jazz standards.
Since its inception in 2022, the Ensemble Orchestral Européen has been invited by Sint-Jan Berchmanscollege and various cultural centers in Brussels, including Le Senghor and Centre Culturel d’Uccle. Under Frédéric Chaine’s direction, the ensemble has also performed at the music festival “Les Rendez-vous Musicaux” for two consecutive years and was honoured by an invitation from the the Belgian Presidency of the Council of the European Union to perform at the Palais d’Egmont in Brussels in 2024.
