The 'Brussels Philharmonic, formerly known as 'BRT Philharmonic Orchestra and then as 'Flemish Radio Orchestra' is a Belgian  Philharmonic located in Brussels. It was linked to the Dutch language public broadcaster  BRTN (the present VRT) and is now an institution of the Flemish Community. The orchestra was founded in 1935 as a studio ensemble of public broadcasting. Now it is a modern and flexible symphony. The repertoire consists mainly of the great symphonic pieces. Also, the orchestra plays contemporary classical music and movie soundtracks. It aims to play other music genres and collaborate with other disciplines. Since 2005, the home of the orchestra is again Studio 4 of the renovated Flagey building in Brussels. The orchestra performs its own concerts in Flagey, but also couples to a solid concert cycle in the BOZAR, Centre for Fine Arts. The orchestra also plays in the rest of Flanders, as in Music Centre De Bijloke in Ghent, Cultural Centre deSingel and Queen Elizabeth Hall in Antwerp, the Kursaal in Ostend and Concertgebouw in Bruges. Almost every concert will be recorded by radio channel Klara and the  Flemish Broadcaster VRT]. The orchestra is also working with the Royal Ballet of [[Flanders . Since 2000 the orchestra has links with the Flanders International Film Festival Ghent. To create the orchestra CD recordings, it works on the annual World Soundtrack Awards and contributes during film projects. In 2008, Michel Tabachnik was appointed chief  conductor and music director. Also, in that year the name was changed from Flemish Radio Orchestra to Brussels Philharmonic.
