Diederik Glorieux

Diederik Glorieux is a composer, conductor, performer, researcher, teacher and music engraver. In his artistic practice, he brings together young people, amateur artists and crip artists with specialised musicians and ensembles. His work explores forms in which creation and performance, clear rules and free improvisation, and musicians and audiences enter into dialogue.

Between 2005 and 2022, he was musical assistant to composer Wim Henderickx. Today, he works on preserving, protecting and further opening up Henderickx’s legacy. Since September 2023, he has been a research associate at the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp, within the research group Labo XIX&XX.

As a teacher, Diederik Glorieux is affiliated with the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp and with the academies of Harelbeke and Ieper. In 2019, he founded vzw Huniyāgar, an organisation dedicated to music creation and music engraving.
