Muziekcentrum De Bijloke Gent, Concert hall and arts center in Bijloke district, Ghent, Belgium
Muziekcentrum De Bijloke Gent is a concert hall and arts center in Ghent with multiple performance spaces arranged across interconnected areas. The complex features a main hall alongside smaller rooms that can be configured for different types of events and audience sizes.
The building began as a hospital in the 13th century and stood for centuries in that role. A major renovation between 2019 and 2020 transformed it into the music and arts venue it is today.
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.
Acoustic engineers from the London-based firm Arup designed the concert hall by deepening the floor and installing reflection panels for precise sound control. This technical work happens behind the scenes but shapes how every performance sounds.
