Morphose Trio
Morphose Trio is a unique Belgian chamber music ensemble with an exceptional combination of instruments: saxophone, viola, and harp. Their mission is to go beyond the well-trodden paths of the classical music landscape. The trio achieves this by creating new music in collaboration with composers and delving into arranging existing repertoire. The compositions undergo a metamorphosis, exploring the possibilities of the instrumentation and the music while constantly reflecting on the current social context. As a result, the ensemble presents a rich variety of styles, ranging from classicism, romanticism, and impressionism to jazz and contemporary music.
Through the composition of their programs, the Morphose Trio aims to make the listener aware of the socio-cultural impact of art on society. This has led to projects such as “Chronographie” and “Music Shaping Society”, which they performed in various concert halls both nationally and internationally.
The three musicians met during their studies at LUCA School of Arts – Campus Lemmens in Leuven, where their shared passion for music quickly blossomed into a close friendship. In 2019, they decided to further develop their musical knowledge and ambitions together: the Morphose Trio was born.

Atmos Ensemble
Atmos Ensemble is an innovative chamber music ensemble founded by Willem-Jan Hendrickx (trumpet), Cédric Delvaux (saxophone), and Mike Docters (piano). The name Atmos is derived from the Italian word atmosfera, meaning atmosphere, and reflects the essence of their music: creating a unique, atmospheric experience.
The ensemble combines a diverse repertoire with collaborations across other art forms, such as theatre and visual arts. The distinctive instrumentation of trumpet, saxophone, and piano allows Atmos to explore a wide range of tonal colors. Their programs include original works, transcriptions, and new compositions created in collaboration with composers and fellow musicians.
The ensemble has further broadened its musical horizons with, among other things, a concert tour in the Netherlands as part of the NJO Music Summer. They also created Salotto Amoroso, a unique fusion of music and theatre, in collaboration with Flemish actress Tania Van der Sanden.
Atmos Ensemble was founded in 2018, after the three musicians met in 2015 during their studies at LUCA School of Arts – Campus Lemmens. In 2020, the ensemble earned their master’s degree in chamber music at the same institution.
111 KEYS – Cédric Delvaux & Frederik Cox
111 KEYS is a Belgian chamber music duo by saxophonist Cédric Delvaux and pianist Frederik Cox. The name 111 KEYS refers to the number of keys the musicians use to create a wide array of music. Their programs include original repertoire and transcriptions, leaving no stylistic period untouched. Both musicians constantly search for a fresh, personal interpretation that results in a unique sound.
The duo was selected to participate in the prestigious 8th International Adolphe Sax Competition in Dinant, where they performed a challenging program featuring new works by, among others, Jean-Denis Michat and Dirk Brossé, specially composed for the occasion. 111 KEYS has also made its mark internationally, performing two concertos by Kevin Houben and Bert Appermont (a world premiere) at the European Saxophone Congress in Trento, Italy.
The two musicians met in 2014 while studying at LUCA School of Arts – Campus Lemmens. Their friendship, shared ambition, and mutual passion for music led to the creation of this remarkable project.
