Bart Meuris
Founder of the De la Haye Ensemble, a chamber music ensemble that focuses on classical and contemporary classical music with an eye for creations and musical heritage.

He also studied music theory with Emanuel Geeurickx, Jos Van Looy and Claude Coppens. He is an active chamber music player and solo pianist. He distinguishes himself in his effort to promote both music of the 20th century as well as contemporary music. He organized several musical projects, focusing on relatively unknown music.

He contributed to the renewed interest to Belgian composers such as Joseph Ryelandt – for whom he recorded for Toccata Classics in London – and Norbert Rosseau. He also promoted contemporary composers and created works for Martin Valcke, Hannes Taljaard (Potchefstroom, South-Afrika), Wim Henderickx and Pieter Schuermans.
He wrote an essay on the nocturnes and preludes by Joseph Ryelandt and made recordings for BRTN and radio Klara (Belgian Classical Radio)
