Johan Deblieck

Johan Deblieck studied music theory and harmony at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Brussels. He was then initiated into organ building by Patrick Collon, where he worked for 10 years and built his first instrument. In 1987, he crowned his organ studies with a government medal under Robert Kohnen at the Royal Academy of Music in Anderlecht. Since 1993, he has been an independent organ builder. In his workshop in Anderlecht, some one hundred and fifty instruments have since been created: church organs, house and study organs, but above all his box organs, which have brought him international fame.
