Live and act
Paul Dombrecht, son of the composer and organist Stefaan Dombrecht (1920–2007), came into contact with music early on. In 1989 he founded the baroque orchestra and choir "Il Fondamento", of which he is conductor and artistic director. He is also the founder of the wind ensembles "Octophoros" and "Paul Dombrecht Consort".
He is both a virtuoso on the baroque oboe - here he is considered one of the early pioneers - and on the modern oboe. He is at home in the entire repertoire for his instrument, from the end of the 17th century to the 20th century.
He recorded his extensive discography for the labels Seon, Harmonia mundi, Astrée, Opus 111, Accent Records, Vanguard Records and Fuga Libera.
Paul Dombrecht was Professor of Baroque and Modern Oboe at the Dutch-speaking department of the Brussels Conservatory until 2013 . At the end of 2015 it was announced that he would like to concentrate primarily on conducting his ensemble.
