Wim Henderickx

Wim Henderickx is a Flemish classical music composer based in Antwerp, Belgium.

He teaches composition at the Royal Flemish Conservatory of Music in Antwerp and at the Conservatory in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and studied at IRCAM in Paris and at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague and at the Darmstadt New Music Summer School.

Henderickx was awarded the ‘Jeugd-en Muziekprijs Vlaanderen’ (Flanders), the ‘International Composition Price for Contemporary Music’ in Quebec (Canada), the triennial price ‘E. Baie I’ (1999) from the provinces of Antwerp for a talented Flemish artist and in 2002 became Laureate of the ‘Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium’ for the section ‘Arts’.

His music is characterized by the use of music from ethnic, non-western cultures, particularly raga from India (see Indian classical music) and from oriental philosophy.
