On May 30, 2026, Queen Mathilde of Belgium attended the final of the 2026 Queen Elisabeth Cello Competition at Bozar Concert Hall in Brussels. This year’s competition for emerging musicians took place from May 4 to May 30. Each of the 12 finalists performed a work specially composed for the final round of the cello competition.
Italian cellist Ettore Pagano won First Prize at the 2026 Queen Elisabeth Cello Competition. The First Prize includes a cash award of €25,000 and numerous concert engagements in Belgium and abroad. Second Prize was awarded to Tae-Yeon Kim of South Korea, while Third Prize went to Leland Ko of the United States and Canada.
HMQM looks really lovely! The fabric blends so nicely with her skin tone and hair color, and the pattern makes gives a terrific contrast. A beautiful look.
ReplyDeleteFor the final round Queen Mathilde wore a new haute couture dress by Natan. It is made in embroidered Guipure lace in the color Champaign. Her hair looks lovely, she is wearing diamond earrings which are forming a lettre "E" and are from Belgian jeweler Leysen. QM has these earrings since the beginning of her marriage. She is also wearing a diamond bracelet, or it could also be a watch with a diamond bracelet, because she is wearing it on her left arm where she normally wears her Rolex. I would have liked the dress better with a shorter and a slightly narrower skirt.Queen Mathilde looks particularly fresh and young on these pictures. After almost a week in the US, they landed in Brussels on saturday morning. At night she was present again at Beaux-Arts (BOZAR). This (sunday)morning the 20 km of Brussels started. It has been said that she would participate, but I don't know it is true. We'll see it in the news tonight. What energy !
