EKHO Violins & Bows

06/06/2026

We would like to extend our warmest thanks to the 70 violin and bow makers who have come from all over the world to take part in Ekho throughout these years.

Our sincere gratitude also goes to the members of the Queen Elisabeth Competition jury — Ophélie Gaillard, Daniel Müller-Schott, and Anssi Karttunen — for sharing their expertise through inspiring masterclasses at the Musical Instruments Museum in Brussels.

A special thank you to cellist Camille Seghers and pianist Alexis Thibaut de Maisières for their beautiful concert dedicated to the music and legacy of Jacques Brel.

We would also like to express our deepest gratitude to all the volunteers whose dedication, enthusiasm, and hard work made this event possible. Your support behind the scenes is invaluable, and Ekho would not be the same without you.

Finally, our heartfelt thanks to the entire team at BOZAR for their warm welcome, and to the Queen Elisabeth Competition for this partnership that has flourished for more than twelve years.

Thank you all for making this exhibition possible.
