Duo Duende
Joris Rompen, saxophone
Stephanie Daelemans, piano
Duo Duende is a young, dynamic saxophone-piano duo founded in 2021 and consists of saxophonist Joris Rompen and pianist Stephanie Daelemans. Both musicians graduated from the Royal Conservatory of Brussels in 2021. Duende comes from the Spanish ‘El Duende,’ a term associated with flamenco meaning a heightened state of emotion, expression and authenticity. This is what the duo wants to bring to their audience based on their broad interest and background in music.
The duo is currently pursuing an additional master's degree in chamber music at the LUCA Lemmens Institute and taking classes at the Orpheus Institute in Ghent.
