Wim Mertens
De Oosterpoort
Trompsingel 27, 9724 DA GroningenWim Mertens is a mainstay in the world of minimalism and neoclassical music. This autumn, he will perform in Groningen.
Since the 1980s, the Belgian composer has been building an idiosyncratic body of work, featuring repetitive compositions in which melody and rhythm subtly shift. Well-known pieces such as Struggle for Pleasure and Maximizing the Audience have become international classics. Mertens moves effortlessly between solo and ensemble performances and is renowned for his high-pitched voice and expressive sounds. With more than seventy albums to his name, he continues to expand his own musical universe, where time and space seem to dissolve.
