To arrange a concert

The Atelier hosts young performers as well as more established musicians regardless of genre (classical music, jazz, French chansonniers, world music …). The team tries to ensure a balanced and high-quality programme, and makes its choices on that basis. Usually, only one concert per weekend can be organised, ie on Friday, Saturday or Sunday. If you wish to arrange a concert, please fill in the form below, answer each question and tick the box “J’accepte les conditions” ( = I agree to the terms and conditions) (see also below under “Contribution to costs”:170€ to be paid in advance).

The Atelier sees to the organisation, including circulating programmes through its mailing list and several Brussels-based media. Performers are also encouraged to circulate their Atelier programme via their own networks in order to reach a wider audience. Maximum seating capacity in the 2nd floor aula is 74. It is our tradition that the audience gets a free “friendship drink” at the end of the performance so as to foster contact between the audience and the performers.

Due to some IT issues we ask you to send your request(s) directly to our e-mail address : ateliermarcelhastir@gmail.com and not through our website

Booking requests

ATTENTION

From September 2025, new conditions: instead of the €170 contribution to costs and payment from takings, guaranteed fixed fee equivalent to the FWB Art&Vie scale subsidy + Art&Vie subsidy for artists recognised by the FWB. Takings in excess of the fixed fee will be paid to artists. Additional fee will be paid if takings do not reach the fixed fee. The standard ticket price will rise to €20; slight change to the compensation arrangements in the event of cancellation. A contract will be drawn up between the organiser and the artist(s).

All requests undergo an approval procedure, in order to ensure that our programme remains balanced over the year. The Atelier usually hosts 1 concert per week, on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday evening. We will reply to your booking enquiry directly by email. In the interests of ensuring the quality of our programmes we do ask people, especially if it is their first time, to send us an example of their work via a link (eg video, website), a description of what they propose to put on and a short CV (with the main points of their professional training and experience). Please also specify whether you are listed among the artists in the catalogue of Art et Vie of the Fédération Wallonie Bruxelles, and whether you wish the Atelier to apply for a grant in respect of your concert. This will be passed on to you in total in addition to the evening’s takings, provided that you have paid the requisite €170 in advance.

The performance space will be available for a rehearsal on the day itself. If performers are unable to rehearse on the day of their performance, the space will, if possible, be made available free of charge on a day in the week preceding the performance.
