Since its founding, the Dacy Quartet has performed in renowned Brussels venues such as the MIM, Auditorium 78, the Design Museum, and the Jette Cultural Center. The four musicians are currently pursuing their Master’s degrees at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels under the guidance of Vincent David.

Dominique Corbiau

Born into an artist’s family, Dominique Corbiau became involved in music at the age of four, playing piano, flute, and cello. However, it was through singing that he found his preferred form of expression. Drawn to the baroque period early on, the decision to develop his countertenor voice came naturally. After singing in the Children’s Choir of Belgian Radio and Television, he was admitted to the Royal Conservatories of Liège, Mons, and Brussels, where he graduated in Concert Singing, Opera Singing, and Chamber Music. Since then, Dominique Corbiau has performed in renowned venues across Belgium and abroad, accompanied by numerous prestigious ensembles and orchestras. Although his repertoire is primarily composed of works written for castrato voices, he also embraces romantic art songs and contemporary music, and has recorded several albums spanning diverse musical styles. In addition, he has cultivated the creative dimension of his profession by designing visually captivating performances that often forge connections between different forms of artistic expression. In this spirit, he founded his own company, Sferartefact, as well as the early music ensemble La Camerata Sferica, which represents the culmination of several years of musicological research exploring lesser-known masterpieces of the 17th and 18th centuries.
