ABOUT

An intense onstage connection, an energetic performance and an incredible dynamic range: that’s what you get when you go to a DRE concert. From the very first note, DRE proves to be a unique concept in both the way they approach music as well as in how the’re constantly listening deeply - and adapting - to each other’s musical input.

The four of them crossed paths as music students while studying at LUCA School of Arts in Leuven, Belgium. Over the course of the years they became fast friends, resulting in their first mutual project in early 2017, when they started rearranging the music of guitarist-composer Roland Dyens for Ine’s master research project. Realising how rare their connection was, both on a musical and on a personal level, they expanded what they were doing and DRE was born.

What most defines them as an ensemble is the spirit of creating freely, without any set boundaries, starting from improvisation. Taking elements from existing compositions they transform them into something that becomes quite their own, adding a layer of originality that sets them apart.
