ECHO for Peace - Concert
Free admission (donation welcome)
The public may enter and leave freely during the afternoon, with respect for the performances and subject to available seating.
In a context marked by ongoing conflicts, ECHO for Peace is a European initiative bringing together, simultaneously in several cities, events combining music and spoken contributions around the theme of peace.
This year, the Dominican Church in Brussels once again hosts the event: four hours of music and reflections, performed by choirs, musicians, and speakers.
