Johan Duijck

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johan Duijck (Belgium, 1954) is the conductor of the Flemish Radio Choir, the Academy of Saint Martin in the Fields Chorus in London and the Gents Madrigaalkoor. He regularly is invited as a guest conductor of renowned ensembles such as the Orquesta Sinfónica Real de Sevilla, the Dartington Festival Orchestra, the Danish Radio Choir and others.

As a composer he dedicates himself by preference to piano and choir music. His works 'Alma de la música' and 'The Well-Tempered Pianist' have received international acclaim.

Duijck also greatly enjoys his 'first love': the piano. In his recitals, masterpieces are alternated with forgotten gems and original finds.

He also has an excellent pedagogical reputation as a piano and choir conducting teacher at the Royal College of Music in Ghent and at the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel. He is the director of the Academy for choir conducting at the Euskalerriko Abesbatzen Elkartea (Spain).
