CASCO PHIL is a collective that was founded in 2008 as the 'Belgian Chamber Philharmonic'. They have performed at numerous venues in Belgium and abroad, including the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, BOZAR and the Concertgebouw Bruges. The artistic direction and baton are in the hands of Benjamin Haemhouts. He chose to work with a permanent group of 39 musicians, which can be easily reduced or expanded, depending on the project.

Casco Phil:

We are an ensemble that puts content and interests first – alongside a healthy dose of awe and curiosity. Utterly flexible, adaptable, and able to provide a tailor-made solution to every new challenge we set ourselves – and these are many and varied, given that we are quite an adventurous collective. Our most important challenge is presenting ground-breaking concerts featuring well-known repertoire alongside less-know work and new music, with the very best soloists and conductors.
