Wim De Pauw
Wim De Pauw completed his music studies at the Lemmens Institute, where he graduated and gained several First Prizes.
From 1983 to 1985 he is employed as a trombone player by the Belgian National Orchestra. Being a freelancer he often rendered his cooperation to La Monnaie, the Federal Opera House in Brussels.
He is a permanent member of the Giovanni Gabrieli Art in Brass Ensemble and the Modern Brass Quintet.
Several concerts and noteworthy concert tours made him perform on national and international stages.
