Biography
“Social engagement is an actuating motive while composing. I always try to combine a strong musical structure with an extra-musical meaning. For me music has to touch people. Music has a metaphysical power; I want to use this to realise a communication between myself as a composer and the listener. To be guided by non-Western cultures is more than only a source of inspiration. In a period where people talk about integration, multicultural society, community artists, crossover etc. I try to think intensively about integrating other cultures in a pure and true way in my work as an artist.” (Wim Henderickx)Wim Henderickx was born in Lier in 1962. He studied composition at the Antwerp Conservatory under Willem Kersters, earning his first prize for percussion, solfege, harmony, counterpoint, fugue and composition. He also took part several times in the Internationale Ferienkurse für Neue Musik in Darmstadt. Henderickx was for many years the timpanist for the Beethoven Academie orchestra and the Eugène Ysaye Ensemble. Today he teaches notation, analysis and composition at the Antwerp Conservatory and at the Lemmens Institute in Leuven.
