Wouter Vandenabeele
Wouter Vandenabeele is an internationally renowned violinist, arranger and composer. His productivity and versatility have reached a peak in the past decade, during which he played concerts with Senegalese traditional violinist Issa Sow and conducted the prestigious project Hadzidakis for the 2004 Athens Olympic Games (participants included Teresa Salgueiro, Lucilla Galeazzi, Joji Hirota, Kari Bremnes and Eva De Roovere).

BIO

Wouter Vandenabeele is an internationally recognized violinist, composer, arranger and artistic director of many musical projects.

In his musical early years, Wouter was active as a musician with the folk group Ambrozijn, a group that was at the basis of the folk revival of the 90s. He went on to work as a composer, arranger and artistic director of various groups and projects.

Thus he founded the world orchestra Olla Vogala which, under his direction, conquered a unique place in the Flemish music landscape. With his Chansons-reeks (Chanson sans paroles, Chansons pour la fin d’un jour en Chansons pour le temps qui reste) laat hij zijn meer intieme en ingetogen kant horen. Als muzikant en artistiek leider bij de projecten Hiraeth, Tamala, GFVP and Liqa, he once again tells his own story where he never excludes encounters with other cultures and genres.

Andere opmerkelijke projecten die hij realiseerde zijn het prestigieuze Hadzidakis- project (opener van de Olympische Spelen 2004 in Athene), het Marokkaans-Vlaams project Brared Ataï en Zuiderwind, een project met Afrikaanse muzikanten. Hij speelde o.a. concerten in Taiwan, China, Zuid-Afrika, Griekenland, Senegal, Libanon en Brazilië.
