THE QUARTET

The name of the quartet not only refers to initiators and founding members Lode & Jonas Violet, but is also a tribute to father Frans Violet whose sound idiom is brought to the concert stage by our members in quartet form, also made possible by the Besson Prestige instruments.

All members are active in Brass Band Willebroek. Lode Violet & Tim De Maeseneer teach saxhorn respectively at the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp and the Luca School of Arts, Lemmensinstituut.
