André De Groote turned 80

When hearing the name of André De Groote, everyone pays attention, or better, everyone listens. Laureate of the Queen Elisabeth Competition in 1968 and of many other competitions, soloist, concertist and chamber musician, and having produced fantastic recordings, including the 32 sonatas of Beethoven and the total oeuvre for piano by Brahms, André enjoys international recognition as a particularly versatile Belgian pianist.

He has shared his pedagogical and artistic qualities with students at the Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel for years, in addition to many international masterclasses. Many of our present-day teachers have been able to experience his mastery and have grown into high quality musicians themselves. Others have shared musical paths with him. He turned 80 on the 28th of March 2020 and we celebrate this with pride, respect and a musical nod to his career!
