Music - Leuven, Flanders, Belgium
Atmos ensemble is a unique chamber music ensemble consisting of: Willem-Jan Hendrickx (trumpet), Cédric Delvaux (saxophone) and Mike Doctors (piano).‘Atmos' comes from the Italian word 'atmosfera' which means atmosphere. This represents exactly what this young chamber music ensemble stands for. They try to create atmospheric music through their choice of repertoire on one hand and their collaboration with other art forms such as theatre, visual arts, etc. on other hand.The unique combination of instruments gives Atmos ensemble the opportunity to create a whole new range of timbres. Their program includes original works as well as transcriptions, but also collaborations with composers and other musicians.The three musicians got to know each other in 2015 during their studies at LUCA School of Arts - Campus Lemmens (Leuven, Belgium). Their friendship, passion for music and desire for innovation brought them together in 2018: Atmos ensemble was a fact. In 2020, the ensemble obtained a master's degree in chamber music at the aforementioned institution.
