Yorick De Bruycker
After studying at the Conservatoire d'Arlon, Yorick went on to study the concert flute at the Conservatoire Royal de Bruxelles and the Conservatoire d'Esch-sur-Alzette (L), where he obtained diplomas in instrumentation/orchestration, pedagogy/methodology and concert flute. He then furthered his training with various flautists, notably at the Philharmonie de Luxembourg. A scholarship holder of the Horlait-Dapsens foundation and the Luxembourg European competition, Yorick went on to win a prize at the Sinfionietta competition in Brussels, as well as first prize at the Dexia classic competition, a gold medal at the Luxembourg young soloists competition and second prize at the Brussels Royal Conservatoire laureates competition, which enabled him to perform at the 'Académia Belgica' in Rome.
He has played with the Orchestre des Jeunes de la Grande Région, the Brussels Chamber Orchestra, Le Summer Orchestra Luxembourg, the Orchestre National de Belgique, the Orchestre d'Harmonie de la Musique Militaire Grand-Ducale, the Orchestre Philharmonique de Luxembourg and is second flautist with the Orchestre d'Harmonie du Luxembourg. Yorick teaches the flute at the UGDA (L) music schools and is a lecturer at the Esch-sur-Alzette conservatoire.
