The programming spans a wide array of genres, ranging from jazz improvisation and classical works by Mozart and Debussy to rhythms from Brazil and Iranian pulsations, as well as Sufi traditions.

Artistic Vision
The organizers have described the 2026 edition as a refusal of narrow borders and fixed identities. The festival is designed as a space where time is not linear but remains vibrant, and open.
La musique n’ouvre jamais un seul chemin, mais une multiplicité de paysages, parfois inattendus, où se croisent les époques, les cultures, les imaginaires. Chaque concert devient une traversée, chaque écoute une invitation au voyage.
Flagey
This conceptual approach is reflected in the pairing of artists and works, such as the dialogue between Debussy and the present day, or the collaboration between Bach and Sofie Rohnstock.
Additional Dates
While the Brussels events take place in June, the Festival Musiq3 also has a presence in Brabant wallon, with dates scheduled from September 26 to October 4, 2026.
