studied at the Royal Flemish Music Conservatory in Antwerp under Walter Boeykens and at the Lemmens Institute in Leuven under Jan van den Ecker. He successively obtained first prizes in clarinet, chamber music, bass clarinet, and a higher diploma in clarinet with great distinction.
He gained a lot of experience later on with virtuosos such as Sabine Meyer, Thomas Friedli, Eddy Daniels, and Peter Geisler. As an orchestral musician, he was part of the Jonge Filharmonie, the “Académie Européenne pour la Perfectionnement de Musiciens d’Orchestre,” and the World Orchestra of Youth & Music. He has collaborated with almost all Belgian orchestras and opera houses (I Fiaminghi, Beethovenacademie, La Monnaie, the National Orchestra of Belgium, etc.). Currently, he is primarily active as a freelance musician with the Flemish Opera Orchestra and the Antwerp Philharmonic.
As a soloist and in chamber music settings, he performs with ensembles such as the Philharmonic Chamber Duo, the Bellerophon ensemble, the De Vita trio, and the Obbrussel string quartet. His concerts have taken him to all countries of Europe, Japan, Russia, America, and Canada, where he collaborated with conductors such as Vernon Handley, Serge Baudo, Kent Nagano, Philippe Herreweghe, and Rudolf Werthen. Wim Voet is particularly known as the clarinetist of the ensemble Elixir d’Anvers, with which he has given over 250 concerts.
In addition to CD recordings with the ensemble Elixir d’Anvers, the Bellerophon wind ensemble, pianist André De Groote, and the Philharmonic Orchestra, his first CD with the Philharmonic Chamber Duo and cellist Stijn Kuppens was released in 2015. This unique CD is the world’s first full-length CD featuring this exceptional lineup.
As an educator, he was a guest lecturer at the Antwerp University College for 10 years. Currently, he teaches clarinet and chamber music at the municipal music academies of Ekeren, Deurne, Borgerhout, and Berchem. His students frequently win prizes, including at the first national clarinet competition in Ghent.
