Classical music performances in France and Belgium have featured diverse repertoire ranging from Beethoven to contemporary works. In Toulouse, pianist Vadym Kholodenko performed Beethoven and Boris Lyatoshinsky at the 47th Festival Piano Jacobins, while in Brussels, Alain Altinoglu led the Orchestre Symphonique de la Monnaie in a program featuring Beethoven.

Subsequent performances in Metz and Luxembourg focused on historical encounters and new leadership.
