A Legacy Continued

On December 18, 2022, composer Wim Henderickx passed away unexpectedly, leaving the music world in shock and mourning. Among his unfinished works lay the Timpani Concerto, a project he had been developing with his close friend and timpanist Gert François.

Two years later, with the help of Wim’s family and his long-time musical assistant Diederik Glorieux, this extraordinary work has been lovingly completed — a deeply personal tribute to the composer’s vision, creativity, and spirit.

In a new video and podcast series, the Brussels Philharmonic shares the story of this concerto’s journey: from Wim’s final ideas to its completion and the path to its world premiere on March 15, 2025, at Flagey.
