Vincent Ghadimi, born in 1968 in Rocourt, Belgium, is a Belgian composer whose output spans solo, chamber, orchestral, and pedagogical music.

His work reflects a deep engagement with musical structure and a refined sense of timbral color, drawing on a broad range of stylistic influences while maintaining a distinctive personal idiom.
Ghadimi began composing early in his musical studies, which included training with composer and choir director Walter Vandorpe and advanced studies in harmony and counterpoint with Franklin Gyselynck. His formal education in solfège, piano, and chamber music at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels provided a strong theoretical foundation for his compositional practice.
His compositions have been performed at festivals dedicated to contemporary Belgian music, such as the Festival de musique belge contemporaine and the Festival Émergence. He has also contributed significantly to the field of educational music. Works such as Zoo for harp and Circus for piano combine pedagogical clarity with creative musical content, offering young musicians imaginative entry points into contemporary idioms.
Although also active as a concert pianist and teacher, Vincent Ghadimi’s contributions as a composer reveal a sustained commitment to expanding the Belgian contemporary repertoire, with a particular focus on works that bridge expressive content and accessibility.
