Maarten Vandenbemden

Picture
Brussels-based Maarten Vandenbemden (°1994) was born in a house full of guitars. As a soloist and as a member of various chamber music groups, he has performed from Lithuania to Jordan, and from the USA to China. Since 2018, Maarten is the fourth member of Four Aces Guitar Quartet with whom he recorded two albums, the latter one (“Plan BE”, 2023) was completely dedicated to own arrangements of Belgian music through the ages.

With Antigoni Goni and Luca Isolani, Maarten forms the Volterra Project Trio, that released its first album “Medio Siglo – a tribute to the art and sound of José L. Romanillos” in 2023 and a second, “Parole in Musica”, with Naxos in May 2025.

He combines the profile of a classical guitarist with a creative versatility as an arranger for different musical combinations, and improviser from the practice room to the stage. He regularly plays with singers Noémie Schellens and Kelly Poukens and with cellist Ann Van Hecke.

A 2014 Volterra Project alumnus, Maarten has been actively involved in the project since 2016, as an assistant for chamber music and improvisation courses. He is professor of Applied Harmony at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels since 2019 and professor of classical guitar at KASK&Conservatorium Ghent.
