There are two programmes from the concert series “Concert Ysaye”, from 1932 and 1933. These do not specify concert venues, but other concerts in the series took place at the Palais des Beaux-Arts, Brussels. There is a programme from a “Studioconcert” featuring works by Darius Milhaud. As the concert was organised by the “Belgische Nationale Radio-Omroep”, it is presumed that the concert took place in the radio station’s studio.

There is a prospectus from the competition “Concours internationale de chant Lyrique”. There are multi-venue prospectuses from the “Orchestre National de Belgique” and the “Koninklijk Filharmonisch Orkest van Vlaanderen”. There are three prospectuses or festival programmes from the Fetsival van Vlaanderen.

There is a programme from a concert organised by the “Harmonie Royale des Charbonnages de Mariemont-Bascoup”, where the venue has not been specified.

The collection includes opera programmes, largely from La Monnaie (Brussels).
