Founded in 1989, Alain Van Kerckhoven Éditeur SRL is a music publishing house dedicated to publishing, distributing, and promoting New Consonant Music within the classical music tradition.
Based in Brussels, we curate an extensive international catalogue that reaches a global audience. Representing 17 nationalities, our roster features over 75 composers whose works resonate across numerous countries and cultural landscapes.
From the outset, we have always prioritized the artistic quality of the works we publish over commercial considerations. This unwavering commitment ensures that our catalogue remains a true reflection of creativity, innovation, and musical excellence.
Our philosophy is guided by a commitment to selectivity and intentionality. By maintaining a modest scale, we ensure accessibility for both composers and audiences. In an era marked by industry consolidation and rapid transformation, we believe that preserving a distinct identity and maintaining responsiveness as a publisher require a carefully curated and focused catalogue.
As innovators in the field, we were the first classical music publisher to launch a website featuring audio excerpts of our repertoire. Early adopters of technologies like computer engraving, digital printing, and e-commerce, we have always operated with the conviction that music must remain a living art form. Its true power lies in uniting composer, performer, and audience within the same moment in time.
Our passion for our catalogue drives us to collaborate with world-renowned performers, record labels, music academies, festivals, and competitions. Highlights include partnerships with the Queen Elisabeth International Music Competition of Belgium, the Musica Nuova Festival, the International Adolphe Sax Competition, the Juilliard School, Naxos, and musicians such as Mikhaïl Bezverkhny, Frank Braley, Simon Diricq, Jean-Marc Fessard, Mireille Gleizes, Marc Grauwels, Aleksander Khramouchin, Michael Kugel, Alekseï Lioubimov, Francis Orval, Eliane Reyes, Antonio Eduardo Santos, Ronald Van Spaendonck and Rhonny Ventat among many others.
In essence, we are deeply passionate about what we publish, and our mission is to share that joy with the world.
