Patrick De Clerck

Patrick de Clerck directed the biggest music festivals and concert series in Belgium (KlaraFestival, European Gala Concerts and Ars Musica). Audiences and budgets steeply grew in ‘difficult’ times. More and more he feels a need for global thinking and projects in music. Patrick curated the New Horizons festival in the Mariinsky theatre and founded 'Music Projects For Brussels' to make Brussels excel even more, from the most global of things to concerts for people who do not really want to be where they find themselves.

He used to be a composer. Now he is successfully composing new audiences.

Most would agree he has a healthy mind, and tries to keep his body fit. He dreams of riding motorbike again.

Besides Belgium he lived in France, Italy and Russia. Dresses in Ann Demeulemeester mostly.
