Michel Burton (°1953) is a guitarist and composer. Trained at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels in guitar, harmony, and musical analysis, he has always embraced a diverse range of musical genres, from Blues and Jazz to World Music, with a deep appreciation for the classical repertoire that remains at the core of his artistic vision. This multitude of influences, coupled with an intimate and dedicated relationship with his instrument and a regular practice of improvisation, form the foundation of his compositional work.

 

A pioneer in guitar ensembles, he has been actively involved since the 1980s, transcribing, arranging, and composing extensively for these formations. With over 40 years of teaching experience, a significant portion of his body of work is dedicated to guitar education, while more ambitious pieces are regularly performed in concert. Guitarists Miren Meuleman, Yves Storms, and Maarten Vandenbemden, along with the duo Edenwood (Catherine Struys - guitar, and Wouter Vercruysse - cello), stand as primary dedicatees of his compositions.
