Funeral of Centrale with a fanfare
With Art Ensemble Of Brussels, Làzara Rosell Albear and Laura Robles Marcuello
21.02.2026
To mark its closing, announced by the Mayor of Brussels, Philippe Close, last December, and taking effect at the end of the current exhibitions - Michel Couturier, Làzara Rosell Albear, Grégoire Motte - Centrale is offering a performance on 21 February, designed as a highlight of gathering in a context where culture is increasingly threatened.
The event will begin at 4 p.m. with an electro-acoustic concert by Làzara Rosell Albear, accompanied by Laura Robles Marcuello, a multi-sensory experience and immersion into the soundscape of the artist between Brussels and Cuba. The two artists will be joined at 5.30 pm by the brass band Art Ensemble of Brussels* in a procession on Place Sainte-Catherine, conceived as a final ritual.
Admission will be free throughout the last weekend (21 & 22 February), to allow as many people as possible to visit Centrale one last time before it closes permanently.
