PASCAL Coppé, HEULE, BELGIUM
Pascal was born in Kortrijk, Belgium on the 28th of July 1973. He grew up in a family of musicians, so it was very normal for him to start studying classical music at the age of 11. He graduated at the conservatory of Kortrijk where he studied harmony, piano, organ and composition. He’s a church musician and plays the organ and piano. In his spare time, he composes Soundtracks & albums. He also creates arrangements for orchestral and piano. His interest in film scoring led him to participate in the Zurich international Film competitions of 2014, 2016, 2017, and scored several short films. In 2016 he composed music for a book trailer for Henrietta, a book written by Johanna Dursin. In 2017 he made the full soundtrack for the book. His new project A Journey Into The Universe has been performed in 2021 and 2022 with special vocal artist Dr. Françoise Vanhecke, Soprano.
