Description:
Glenn Van Looy, born in Bonheiden, Belgium, is an outstanding euphonium player of the 21st century. His musical journey began early under the guidance of his father, a bass trombonist. He studied at renowned institutions such as the Secondary School of Art in Antwerp and the Lemmens Institute in Leuven. Van Looy excels both as a soloist and as an ensemble player and was a member of well-known brass bands at a young age. His solo career has been celebrated with numerous awards at international competitions throughout Europe and beyond. But his successes are not limited to competitions; he has also worked as a sought-after concert soloist with prestigious orchestras such as the Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra and the European Youth Brass Band. Glenn Van Looy's remarkable performances have earned him prestigious titles, including victory at the Ern Keller Memorial in Sydney, Australia, as International Soloist of the Year. He also won the international soloist competitions in Jeju and Lieksa in 2011 and 2012. A new collaboration arose with the composers Otto M. Schwarz and Thomas Doss. Together with them, he created the book "Glenn van Looy presents 5 concert pieces for horn & piano", published by Symphonic Dimensions Publishing. This work contributes to the expansion of the horn repertoire and underlines Van Looy's commitment.
