CV - Walter Hoeks Print

Walter Hoeks is de 1ste trombonist bij Brass Band Willebroek.  Hij begon op 10-jarige leeftijd zijn opleiding aan de Noord-Limburgse Muziekacademie bij Leo Nuyts en vervolmaakte zich aan de Muziekacademie van Willebroek bij Frans Violet.  Hij studeerde telkens af met de grootste onderscheiding.   Eveneens volgde hij masterclasses bij o.a. Ivan Meylemans.

 

Als trombonist bekoort hem voornamelijk de brassbandmuziek.  Op vraag van Frans Violet mocht hij zich in 1995 bij Brassband Willebroek aansluiten.  Sindsdien laat de brassbandmicrobe hem niet meer los.  Het is dan ook met deze band dat hij zijn mooiste muzikale momenten beleefde, zoals de Europese titel in 2006 in Belfast, de Europese kampioenschappen in Brussel en Bergen,  maar ook de vele solistische optredens met begeleiding van de band. 

 

Daarnaast is Walter nog actief in de Noord-Limburgse Brassband, in de Nieuwe Harmonie van Lommel en in Harmonie St.-Michaël van Thorn.  Ook speelt hij regelmatig free-lance of als gastsolist in de Belgische en Nederlandse HaFaBra-wereld.  Hij streeft ernaar als amateurmuzikant op een zo hoog mogelijk niveau te musiceren.

 

Van opleiding is Walter licentiaat in de Natuurkunde en in het dagelijkse leven werkt hij als systeemarchitect,  systeemanalist en programmeur.

CV - Stefan Moeskops Print
Stefan was born in 1972 in Antwerp.

In his daily live he is a chief engineer at Telenet. He studied electric engineering and computer science and specialised in internet servers and internet service applications.

When he was 7, he became a musician. First he played the trumpet. His tutor was the famous Theo Mertens and later on he graduated on the trombone, euphonium, the baritone and the Eb-tuba.

Stefan has been a member of BBW for 9 years now. He began on the baritone and then changed it for the tuba. He is also a member of the Flanders Tuba Quartet, Quatre Musicale,

Brass aux Saxes and regularly he performs as a guest musician with several Antwerp and Campinian wind bands.

He also performs as a soloist and at those occasions he tries to explore and extend the limits of the Eb-tuba. His favourite piece of music is George Lloyd's English Heritage. (This is not a coincidence as it has a very demanding and satisfactory bass-score)

Highlights in his mucial carreer were soloist performances with Steven Mead and Steve Sykes, the gala concert with BBW in Birmingham, the runner-up perfomance at the European Championships in Brussels and the countless winning performances of BBW at several Brassband contests.
