Bart Vandewege is a Belgian composer, director, singer and producer, based in Madrid.
His versatility as a musician is the result of his studies both of musical theory (harmony, counterpoint, composition) and of flute, singing, and piano at the Belgian conservatories of Leuven, Brussels, and his native town of Ghent.
Later, his musical exploration led him to delve into early music, contemporary works, jazz, and traditional music. Meanwhile, he attended masterclasses in orchestral conducting with, among others, Salvador Mas and Arturo Tamayo, who guided him through the romantic and contemporary repertoire.
Earlier in his academic career, he also studied visual arts and creative writing. Both disciplines serve as synaesthetic inspiration for his musical compositions for theatre, cinema and dance, as well as for his video projects, which he started during the 2020 lockdown.
Bart Vandewege es un compositor, director, cantante y productor belga establecido en Madrid.
Siendo músico versátil y polifacético, estudió tanto teoría musical (armonía, contrapunto y composición) como flauta travesera, canto y piano en los conservatorios belgas de Lovaina, Bruselas y su ciudad natal, Gante.
Movido por su enorme curiosidad, se formó además en música antigua, música contemporánea, jazz y música tradicional. Ha participado en clases magistrales de dirección orquestal con Salvador Mas y Arturo Tamayo, enfocadas en el repertorio romántico y contemporáneo.
Además de su formación musical, recibió clases de artes plásticas y de escritura creativa en la Universidad de Lovaina, disciplinas que le han servido como herramienta de inspiración en su faceta como compositor para teatro, cine y danza, así como para sus proyectos de video, que comenzó durante el confinamiento de 2020.
