What fans are saying

December 16th 2024
Het optreden was fantastisch. Trouwens is de Leboeuf zaal in Bozar een zaal met een prima akoestiek. De architectuur ervan is verbluffend. Maar, maar, de zitjes zijn oncomfortabel: er is veel te weinig beenruimte. In de afgelopen 50 jaar zijn de toeschouwers langer geworden. Ik zat zo geklemd tussen mijn rugleuning en de rugleuning van de persoon voor me dat ik na een uur de zaal verlaten heb.

Wim Mertens Biography

Wim Mertens started his career in 1980 after working as a musicologist and radio producer. His first release 'For Amusement Only' consists only of the sound of pinball machines.

This album was followed by 'At Home-Not at Home' (1981), 'Vergessen' (1982), 'Struggle for Pleasure' (1983) and 'Maximizing the Audience' in 1984.
Over the past 40 years Mertens developed his musical output into a carefully crafted personal language, writing for different ensembles. He has also composed for vocals and for symphonic orchestra.

Today Mertens has more than 70 albums to his name, the music which he regularly performs live throughout Europe, North and Central America, Japan, Thailand and Russia.

In 2019, he released the album 'Inescapable', a limited-edition box set that provides an overview of four decades of composition (1980-2020).

This release was followed by 'The Gaze of the West' (2020), 'Heroides' (2022), 'Voice of the Living' (2023) and 'Ranges of Robustness' (2024).

In his new opus 'Ranges of Robustness', Mertens explores the numerous forms and degrees of the notion of 'robustness’.
In only nine compositions all-or at least many-variants are presented “in the way that our time requires”, in the words of the composer.
The contemporary symphonic approach is in line with today's robust challenges. The first single 'Polytics' was released on May 3, 2024.
