Muziekcentrum De Bijloke Gent, Concert hall and arts center in Bijloke district, Ghent, Belgium

Muziekcentrum De Bijloke Gent occupies the former Bijloke hospital, whose oldest part is a 13th-century infirmary hall now restored as a 960-seat concert hall. The site also holds a 19th-century hospital, the Kraakhuis hall for about 240 listeners, a library, and an anatomical institute auditorium. Modern additions include two contemporary entrance buildings, artist lodges, rehearsal rooms, offices, and a three-level foyer opened in late 2007.

The Bijloke hospital was founded more than 700 years ago and cared for the sick on this site for centuries. In 1983 it moved to the Jan Palfijn hospital, freeing the medieval infirmary and the 19th-century hospital buildings. The oldest parts were restored and converted into a music centre, with a new foyer added at the end of 2007.

The center welcomes audiences who come to experience classical music, contemporary works, and jazz in one space. Throughout the year, Belgian and international performers shape what people encounter when they visit.

The venue offers flexible space arrangements and is equipped with professional audio-visual systems for different kinds of events. Guests will find catering options and facilities designed to accommodate various types of performances and gatherings.

The medieval infirmary hall now serves as the main concert hall with 960 seats, and since 2017 it has been the home base of Symfonieorkest Vlaanderen. The Antwerp Symphony Orchestra also performs here regularly.
