Koenraad Hofman (°1971), born and raised in Brussels, studied at our Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel under the professors Maurice Aerts and Etienne Siebens. From 1996 to 2003, the double bassist shifted his focus to Amsterdam, where he performed as solo bassist with the string orchestra Amsterdam Sinfonietta led by Lev Markiz and Peter Oundjian, among others. He also held the same position in the European Union Chamber Orchestra until 2007. Closer to home, Hofman has been leader of the double basses at the Symfonieorkest Vlaanderen since 2004.
Between 2015 and 2019, he taught double bass at the Conservatory of Ghent. His heart also beats for the chamber music ensemble Oxalys, born in the lap of our conservatoire. Hofman has been an uninterrupted double bass player there since 1993 and has been responsible for artistic coordination for the past 10 years. Since the academic year of 2019-2020, he has been teaching at our Koninklijk Conservatorium Brussel.
