\u201cMijn doel is om nieuwe concepten te cre\u00ebren die de combinatie van muziek, theater, dans, elektronica en po\u00ebzie verkennen, en die voorstellingen omzetten in allesomvattende en schitterende ervaringen.\u201d<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n

Biografie<\/h3>\n

Benjamin Haemhouts<\/span> begon zijn professionele carri\u00e8re als trombonist bij het Rotterdams Philharmonisch Orkest<\/strong>, voordat hij aantrad als solotrombonist bij de Bamberger Symphoniker<\/strong>. Naast zijn uitvoerende werk dirigeerde hij jeugdorkesten en werkte hij als assistent-dirigent van zijn mentor Alexander Polyanichko<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Als gastdirigent<\/strong><\/span> werkte Haemhouts samen met vooraanstaande ensembles, waaronder het Nationaal Orkest van Belgi\u00eb, Brussels Philharmonic, Bamberger Symphoniker, Argovia Philharmonic, Guanajuato Symphony Orchestra, Orquesta de C\u00e1mara de Bellas Artes (Mexico), PhilZuid, het Litouws Kamerorkest, het Asko|Sch\u00f6nberg Ensemble en het Orchestre Royal de Li\u00e8ge. Onlangs maakte hij zijn debuut bij het Hard Rain Ensemble in Noord-Ierland en in 2026 keert hij terug naar de Bamberger Symphoniker, gevolgd door zijn debuut bij het English National Ballet in 2027.<\/p>\n

In 2008<\/strong> was Haemhouts medeoprichter<\/span> van Casco Phil<\/strong>, waar hij nog steeds artistiek directeur is. Onder zijn leiding groeide het ensemble uit tot een dynamisch collectief dat artistieke vernieuwing en interdisciplinaire samenwerking hoog in het vaandel draagt. De programmering verweeft hedendaagse muziek, klassiek repertoire en originele composities \u2014 waarvan vele speciaal voor Casco Phil zijn gecre\u00eberd<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Een centraal element in Haemhouts\u2019 kunstenaarschap is de sociale rol van muziek. Hij initieerde vooruitstrevende projecten zoals Lost & Found<\/em><\/strong> \u2014 een reizende opera die werd opgevoerd in Europese treinstations in samenwerking met de Royal Opera House Covent Garden, Opera Ballet Vlaanderen, Transparant en Europalia \u2014 en Wind Symphony<\/em><\/strong>, een samenwerking met de Universiteit Antwerpen en de Haven van Antwerpen waarbij data van windturbines worden omgezet in klank.<\/p>\n

Hedendaagse dans speelt een belangrijke rol in zijn werk, met samenwerkingen rond producties met choreografie van onder anderen Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui, Martha Graham, Daniel Proietto en Maurice B\u00e9jart.<\/p>\n

Sinds 2019 is Haemhouts artistiek directeur<\/span> van het Antwerp Spring Festival<\/strong> in de Handelsbeurs. De identiteit van het festival weerspiegelt de stad zelf: bruisend, ondernemend en toekomstgericht, en brengt jong talent, traditie en innovatie samen.<\/p>\n

Maatschappelijke betrokkenheid<\/strong><\/span> vormt een constante in zijn werk. Een opvallend initiatief is CroKant<\/strong>, waarbij kinderen uit kansarme milieus een week lang creatief kunnen ontdekken via muziek, gezond koken, kinderfilosofie en zelfexpressie.<\/p>\n

Naast zijn artistieke projecten is Haemhouts ook erkend als cultureel ondernemer, keynote speaker en leiderschapscoach<\/span>. In sessies zoals Symphonic Leadership<\/em><\/strong> trekt hij inspirerende parallellen tussen orkestdirectie en organisatieleiderschap.<\/p>\n
