Glenn Van Looy presents 5 Concert Pieces

Glenn Van Looy, born in Bonheiden, Belgium, is an outstanding euphonium player of the 21st century. His musical journey began early under the tutelage of his father, a bass trombonist. He studied at prestigious institutions such as the Secondary School of Art in Antwerp and the Lemmens Institute in Leuven. Van Looy excels as both a soloist and ensemble player and was a member of renowned brass bands at a young age. His solo career has been celebrated with numerous awards at international competitions throughout Europe and beyond. However, his successes are not limited to competitions; he has also been in demand as a 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 winning International Soloist of the Year at the Ern Keller Memorial in Sydney, Australia. He also won the Jeju and Lieksa International Soloist Competitions in 2011 and 2012, respectively, and a new collaboration resulted with composers Otto M. Schwarz and Thomas Doss. Together with them he created the book "Glenn van Looy presents 5 concert pieces for euphonium & piano", published by Symphonic Dimensions Publishing. This work contributes to the expansion of the euphonium repertoire and underlines Van Looy's commitment.
