Wieland Kuijken was born in Dilbeek near Brussels in 1938. When he was
14 the family moved to artistically active Bruges. A year laterWieland
Kuijken left school and began his musical studies: cello and piano.He
completed his studies at the Brussels Conservatoire, when he took his
performers examination in 1962. In parallel with his Conservatoire
studies he interested himself more and more with earlier music and its
instruments. At the age of 18 he began to teach himself the viola da
gamba. His musical career started with the Alarius Enemble (1959-1972).
At the same time he showed a great interest in avant-garde music. He
became internationally known through many concerts and recordings with
his brothers Sigiswald and Barthold, Gustav Leonhardt, Frans Brüggen and
Alfred Deller. Since 1970 he has taught at the Conservatoires in
Brussels and The Hague. In addition to these activities he regularly
gives international summer masterclasses (Innsbruck etc.)
