JÉRÔME PORSPERGER (1978) is a Belgian artist based in Brussels. His two greatest sensitive
passions are Art and Nature. After obtaining a master's degree in bio-engineering in 2002
(University Faculty of Gembloux, Belgium), he turned to multiple artistic practices without ever
forgetting his connection to Nature.
His practice consists of bringing the world of classical music into contemporary art forms close to
performance. This music has fascinated him since his adolescence. He owns 2500 vinyls and
wanted to be a conductor. In constant research for new ways of raising awareness, alone or in
collaboration, he willingly quits traditional methods and aesthetics.
In his The Invisible Concerts performances, he embodies the roles of classical music DJ, opera
singer and “air” conductor. He also renews the visual dimension of classical music through the
production of art videos, installations, posters, specific performances, actions, multimedia art and
participatory experiences. He is also a rearranger of classical works and has recently started
composing music.
His vocal repertoire is varied and wide in its historical scope, it extends from Henry Purcell to
Christophe, from Schubert to his own compositions. His voice alternates between a high
countertenor range and a warm masculine baritone voice. He also practices vocal improvisation
in dialogue with spaces.
The use of his voice, as a mediating source of emotion, and the music he shares are for him a
means of accessing the sacred dimensions of the living and constitutes in itself a spiritual care for
his audience.
