Robert Groslot (born 9 June 1951) is a Belgian pianist, conductor and composer.
Robert Groslot studied the piano at the Royal Conservatory Antwerp. In 1974, he won the Alessandro Casagrande piano competition in Terni, Italy. In 1978, he won the 6th prize at the Queen Elisabeth Competition for piano. [1] [2] He undertook concert trips across 4 continents through more than 20 countries and made many studio, radio and television recordings, over 120 CDs. [3]
Until 2009, Robert Groslot has taught piano at the Lemmensinstituut in Leuven, at the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp and at the Utrechts Conservatorium. From 1996 to 2001, he served as the artistic director of the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp.
A few years after winning the 6th prize in the Queen Elisabeth Competition, Groslot also turns to conducting. In 1991, he founded the symphonic orchestra Il Novecento. With this orchestra, he performs, from 1991, during the Night of the Proms. In the mid 1990’s he also founded two Belgian youth orchestras that served as a training ground for an entire generation of musicians, many of whom can be found working professionally throughout Europe.
Since 2009, Groslot focusses on composing, alongside conducting Il Novecento. Recurring sources of inspiration include English literature (William Butler Yeats, James Joyce, T.S. Eliot), nature, and the seasons.
After winning the Alessandro Casagrande Competition in 1974 (Terni) and becoming laureate at the Queen Elisabeth Competition (Brussels, 1978), he undertook concert trips across 4 continents through more than 20 countries and made many studio, radio and television recordings, over 120 CDs.
