Lucien Posman

A self-proclaimed post-mannerist. Behind the apparent simplicity of his works lurks a rigorous composition system. He knows how to alleviate gravity when appropriate with a healthy dose of perspective and humour.

Lucien Posman (°1952) is honorary professor composition, counterpoint and fugue at the Royal Conservatory of the University College Ghent. He is founder and honorary chairman of ComAV, the Flemish composers’ association and member of The Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science and the Arts. He was co-founder in and artistic collaborator of De Rode Pomp, a chamber music platform in Ghent managed by his brother André Posman. He studied music theory and composition at the Royal Conservatories of Ghent and Antwerp. His mentor for composition was Roland Coryn, Nini Bulterys for counterpoint & fugue. He composed a symphony, an opera, concertos, chamber music for various ensembles and a relatively large number of vocal works, mostly using poetry by William Blake. As composer he is a representative of postmodernism and has an important voice in this debate in Flanders. Some of his works have been awarded composition prizes. Posman’s works have been performed at many national and international festivals.
