Jean-Claude Vanden Eynden was only 16 when he was proclaimed winner of the 1964 Queen Elisabeth International Musical Competition. He is one of the youngest laureates ever to be elected. This precious distinction marks the start of a brilliant career which has taken him to the most beautiful venues in the world and the most famous festivals.

Among others at the Korsholm (Finland), Umea (Sweden), Prades et la Chaise-Dieu (France), Delft (Netherlands), Seoul (Korea), Stavelot and Seneffe (Belgium) Festivals. He is also a wonderful chamber musician, admired by his peers, who performs with leading Belgian and international partners Véronique Bogaerts, Marie Hallynck, Augustin Dumay, Silvia Marcovici, Michaela Martin, Miriam Fried, Gérard Caussé, Frans Helmerson, José Van Dam, Walter Boeykens, Enesco Quartet, Melos Quartet, Ysaye Quartet, Ensemble César Franck, etc.

His vast and impressive repertoire includes almost all the great concertos, a wide range of chamber music pieces and above all, the complete works for piano solo by Maurice Ravel.
