Noah Thys

Noah Thys (b.1992, Ghent, Belgium) studied composition at the Royal Conservatory of Ghent, under Dirk Brossé, where he attained the degree of Master of Arts of Music, magna cum laude (2017). He went on to complete a classical singing degree in 2021, studying under Marcos Pujol and Hilde Verheyen, despite being heavily affected by contracting COVID-19 the year prior. He has followed masterclasses and workshops with The King’s Singers, Ratas del Viejo Mundo, Delphine Galou, Yuval Weinberg, Giuseppe Ravi, Bob Chilcott and Eric Whitacre, among others.

Noah likes to explore different styles, from classic to new media. The interest in the latter has led to all sorts of projects, such as participating in the InMICS (International Master in Composition for Screen) in Bologna, Italy, and creating soundtracks for educational video games, such as Karaton and Stutter Stars. His concert music has been performed internationally, from his hometown in Ghent (Miry, de Bijloke, et al.), to Gangneung, South Korea, where women’s choir Amaranthe Oudenaarde won first place during the World Choir Games 2023 with work written especially for them.

Noah has collaborated with artists of various disciplines, such as Hendrik Lasure, Felix Kindermann, Irina Jasnowski Pascual, and has performed with ensembles such as Ex Tempore, The Ghent Singers, the Flemish Radio Choir and Brussels Philharmonic under the baton of Eric Whitacre. In 2021, he became a member of the world-renowned vocal ensemble ANÚNA. Later that year, Noah opened the 11th edition of the World Choir Games, in Antwerp, where he shared the stage with Charlotte Campion, RoxorLoops, Charles Dekeyser, Astrid Stockman, and Rocco Granata, among others. During this festival, he also gave a workshop on the art of the “virtual choir”. Several of his works have also been recorded on CD, such as De Waterlelie on the CD Les Flandriens, by the Flemish Radio Choir, and the string quartet piece Saifu IV, on Fingerprints #4 (an initiative by Radio Klara, ComAV, and Sabam for Culture), performed by the Desguin Quartet.

In his free time, Noah is also active on social media: his YouTube channel has amassed over 6.5 million views.
