Fanfareorkest Concert divisie
Bio
The Koninklijke Fanfare Kempenbloei was founded in 1862. In the 160 years of its
existence, the orchestra has always strived to be a musical pioneer. Over the last
25 years in particular, Kempenbloei has developed into one of the world's leading
fanfare orchestras, both through its high-quality concerts and its succesfull
participations at contests. Participations in the 4-yearly World Music Contest are the
highlights of the past era and resulted in a unique series of results: a first place in
the first division in 2001, a second place in the concert division in 2005 and 4
consecutive world titles in the concert division: 2009, 2013, 2017 and 2022.
Furthermore, the orchestra recorded 7 studio CD's and collaborated on recordings
of several international soloists. Kempenbloei gave prestigious concerts in well
known concert halls such as 'De Vooruit' in Ghent, 'Het Concertgebouw' in Bruges,
the 'Bozar' in Brussels and the 'Teatro de la Zarzuela' in Madrid. The latter concert
was organized to mark the handover of the Presidency of the E.U. from Spain to
Belgium. In 2025 they participated on invitation in the prestigious concert series
"Innsbrucker Promenadenkonzerte" in Innsbruck. As a pioneer, Kempenbloei has
also commissioned dozens of compositions and arrangements to international
composers.
