After being involved in several international co-productions as a guest musician with renowned orchestras like the Royal Philharmonic and the Flemish Radio Orchestra, Aram Van Ballaert decided to start building on a solo career. His cd’s ‘Danza’ (2002) and ‘TRI’ (2005) were received with great enthusiasm by the press as well as the audience. This resulted in an intensive series of concerts throughout Belgium, the Netherlands, Bulgaria, Hungary, Ukraine, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Saudi-Arabia. In co-operation with the ensemble Piacevole and bandoneon player Alfredo Marcucci, Aram performed as a soloist in numerous performances of the double concerto of Astor Piazzolla. As a pop musician, Aram is the guitarist of Ronny Mosuse and Novastar, of which there is a live DVD (EMI) released in 2009. Since 2008 Aram is also playing the drums in “Clement Peerens Explosition”: a totally crazy trio with an excellent live reputation led by Hugo Matthysen. In addition to all this, Van Ballaert is working as a composer for television and film. In 2012 he was asked to write the soundtrack for the prestigious primetime series Quiz me Quick, written by Bart De Pauw and directed by Jan Matthys. Besides his performing activities Aram Van Ballaert lectures at the famous Lemmens Institute (University for Science and Arts) in Louvain.
