Ilan Volkov is known for being a musical omnivore, someone you can talk to for hours on end about anything from Brahms symphonies to Flemish minimalism to Korean hyperpop. He launched the Tectonics Festival in 2012, which has since become one of the world’s most diverse and acclaimed celebrations of experimental and new music.

The 2026 two-days edition will take place in Flagey and will once again bring us together with our friends from the Brussels Philharmonic. The programme is currently being finalised, so stay tuned.
    

Ilan Volkov is een beruchte muzikale omnivoor - het soort dirigent met wie je de hele avond kan praten over alle muziek in het universum en ver daarbuiten, van Brahms' symfonieën tot Vlaams minimalisme en Koreaanse hyperpop. Ilan lanceerde in 2012 het boeiende festival-format Tectonics, dat sindsdien is uitgegroeid tot een van de meest eclectische en gewaardeerde festivals voor nieuwe en experimentele muziek ter wereld.

Tijdens de editie van 2026, die twee dagen lang in Flagey plaatsvindt, zullen we opnieuw het podium delen met onze vrienden van het Brussels Philharmonic.

Ilan Volkov est réputé pour son appétit d'omnivore musical — le genre de chef d'orchestre avec qui vous pouvez parler des soirées entières de toutes les musiques de la galaxie et au-delà, depuis les symphonies de Brahms jusqu'au minimalisme flamand, en passant par l'hyperpop coréenne. Ilan a lancé le passionnant festival Tectonics en 2012, devenu depuis lors l'un des festivals de musique nouvelles et expérimentales les plus éclectiques et les plus appréciés au monde.

L'édition 2026, qui se déroulera sur deux jours à Flagey, nous fera partager le plateau une fois de plus avec nos amis du Brussels Philharmonic.
