Dr. Françoise Vanhecke PhD and polyvalent performer/soprano/pianist/actress/composer exceptionally won the New York Women Composers Seed Grant for the second time. This was realized thanks to the NYWC and The Puffin Foundation for their support in this project. Before she goes to New York to perform her solo program 'SOLISSIMA', she will perform her recital at the Fine Arts Gallery Wouter De Bruycker. The performance developed for this purpose is a solo program with the unique combination of accompanying oneself at the piano or with musical support via soundtrack/fixed media. ![]() A dizzying cosmic adventure.
A Journey Into The Universe is a collaboration (created during the Covid captivity) between composer Pascal Coppé and soprano Françoise Vanhecke. The West Flemish duo has created a concept in which vocals, electronic music and images are woven together into a fascinating whole.

Her new singing technique makes a renewed artistic contribution to expression for the vocal music of the 21st century and is illustrated with results of collaborations with composers such as Annette Vande Gorne, Steef Verwée, Sebastian Bradt, Willy Van Buggenhout, Klaus Burger, Pascal Coppé as well as Irma Bilbao. These new sounds of the human voice within the context of the role of expressiveness in the musical landscape for the music of our time and its impact on the contemporary artistic platform fit perfectly within this festival with the theme 'The voice' and will certainly fascinate and captivate singers, composers, pedagogues as well as musicologists. Her scientific research into acoustic, physical and physiological characteristics of inhaling singing compared to normal exhaling singing have led to several scientific publications such as the "Journal of Voice". 02/02/2023
