Will we be Friends?

Flanders Festival Ghent wants to get everyone excited about classical music. However, we cannot do this alone. It is only with your help that we can spread our musical message every day. It is people like you who make the difference. People who share our love for music and on whom we can build. People we admire for their involvement, commitment and trust. In short, people who mean a lot to us and whom we consider Friends.

'Friendship is based on connection, trust, regular contact and above all: having fun.' For this reason, our FestivalClub gets a new look: meet Friends of the Festival.  

Thanks to your membership we can create heartwarming, impactful projects with our social operation and this for children, people from disadvantaged groups, the elderly or people with disabilities, and we are extremely proud of that. With you as a member of our Friends Group we can go even further!
