Koninklijke Fanfare de Werkmanszonen
Fanfare 1e divisie
Bio
Koninklijke Fanfare De Werkmanszonen was founded by field and factory workers
in 1896. During the course of its history it developped into a leading orchestra in the
region. In the late '70's the fanfare band evolved into an independent association
and gained national and international recognition. As the flagship of Belgium's most
musical municipality, Riemst, the band has participated in every edition of the World
Music Contest since 1993, maintaining a steady streak of gold medals. Led by Yves
Wuyts, the orchestra alternates contest appearances with one-of-a-kind projects
and concert tours. They perform a versatile repertoire, from traditional fanfare music
to film music and big band standards. Especially for the 2026 competition, De
Werkmanszonen had Ludovic Neurohr write a symphonic poem combining ancient
instruments from the Roman era with the typical warm fanfare band sound. This
exceptional piece revolves around Ambiorix, the bravest of the Belgians according
to legend.
