It's not the Belgian state or the EU celebrating Brexit as such, it's the Brussel branch of the Pompidou filling a slot in a larger festival, on the night of 29 March, with an Englishy programme - John Tavener, Benjamin Britten, ending with Haydn's Farewell Symphony - but - Jonathan Coe and Ali Smith are giving readings. If I were them, i.e. artsy Remainers, I would want to be at home in bed at midnight on the 29th with the blankets over my head. What about you?
