Herreweghe, Philippe, Chef d'orchestre
Philippe Herreweghe est un chef d\'orchestre belge.
En marge de ses études universitaires (médecine et psychiatrie), il suit aussi une formation musicale au conservatoire où il étudie le piano avec Marcel Gazelle. Au cours de la même période, il entame une carrière de chef d�orchestre et en 1970 il crée le Collegium Vocale Gent.
Nikolaus Harnoncourt et Gustav Leonhardt notèrent d�emblée son approche exceptionnelle de la musique et invitèrent Philippe Herreweghe et le Collegium Vocale à s�associer à eux pour l\'enregistrement de l\'intégrale des cantates de Bach.

Collegium Vocale Gent, Choral
Collegium Vocale Gent was founded in 1970 on the initiative of Philippe Herreweghe.
It was one of the first ensembles to use the then-new ideas about baroque practice in vocal music performances. Musicians such as Gustav Leonhardt, Ton Koopman and Nikolaus Harnoncourt immediately took an interest in the Flemish ensemble’s fresh, new approach, which led to intensive collaboration.
In the mid-1980s the ensemble acquired international fame and was invited to all the major concert halls and music festivals of Europe, Israel, the United States, Russian, South America, Japan, Hong Kong and Australia.
