He followed masterclasses with Marie-Claire Alain, Bernard Foccroulle, Daniel Roth, Harald Vogel, Jos Van Immerseel en studied one year with Guy Bovet in Switzerland. He played the organ and harmonium in several orchestras with conductors as Heinrich Schiff, Philip Herreweghe, Silvio Varviso, Eliahu Inbal and Neville Marriner. He recorded a harmonium cd on his big V.Mustelharmonium with celesta. This cd is completely sold out. From 2001 to 2005 he was stage manager at the Bayreuther Festspiele (D) where he could work with conductors like Pierre Boulez, Christian Thielemann and Andrew Davis and with directors like Christian Schlingensief and Keith Warner. At the moment he is organist in Belgium: in Turnhout and in Hoogstraten.

He created the harmonium score in Jan Fabre’s The Tragedy of a Friendship, a Hommage to Richard Wagner.
