L’HOMME DÉSARMÉ

Johan Duijck reveals an artistic versatility as a choir conductor, composer, pianist and teacher. He has become internationally renowned as director of the Flemish Radio Choir, the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields Chorus (London), the World Youth Choir and the Ghent Madrigal Choir. Leading chamber and radio choirs throughout Europe and Latin America often invite him to be a guest-conductor. He regularly appears in masterclasses and juries for international choir festivals.

As a composer Johan Duijck concentrates on choral, piano, organ and chamber music. One can find his compositions on seven CD’s, recorded by Phaedra (Music | Phaedra - In Flanders’ Fields (bandcamp.com)) and Etcetera (Etcetera records (etcetera-records.com)).

Not only does Johan Duijck conduct and compose, he also greatly enjoys his first love: the piano. He graduated at the world-famous Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel and won the prizes Günther, Pro Civitate, Tenuto, Ollin and Lefranc. In his recitals (‘from Bach to Ugró’), masterpieces from the music literature are alternated with forgotten gems and original finds.
