Casteels, Robert

Composer, conductor, educator and pianist, Dr Robert Casteels believes that these roles are fundamentally interrelated in the kaleidoscope of activities that is music making. Casteels has conducted more than 50 professional orchestras in 20 countries in a repertoire of 600 works ranging from the early classics to contemporary music, from symphonic to vocal and dance repertoire. He has conducted first performances of symphonic works, ballets and operas. Casteels is one of those composers whose music makes an immediate impact on the audience. The idea of following tradition, rules and stylistic imperatives is completely foreign to a body of music which really mixes it up.
