bart verbeke

Bart, born in 1976, began his musical journey as a child, studying violin, singing in choirs, playing in orchestras and delving into piano and harmony. By his early twenties, he expanded his horizons, embracing guitar and accordion. He performed in all sorts of bands, on the streets, and in gritty downtown bars. 
Simultaneously, he pursued a solo career as a pianist and recorded over 20 albums with innovative piano improvisations. He garnered national radio attention with his musical comments on Phillip Glass, Arvo Pärt, and the goldbergvariations of J.S. Bach. He played on some of Belgium's nicest jazz festivals. (Citadelic festival, Rock Slechter, ...)

Bart studies and analyses a diverse range of styles and traditions. After mastering the rules, he takes a refreshing departure . He intentionally let them go, embracing a more spontaneous and expressive approach which blends in a unique and authentic sound. The form of his pieces evolves organically, following the natural development of his musical ideas, characterized by its melodic richness and emotional depth.
