Currently an Artist in Residence at the Music Chapel Queen Elisabeth, she has quickly gained recognition: she won the First Prize at Concours Lyrique International Bell’Arte (2024) and Third Prize at the Symphonies d’Automne International Singing Competition (2023). In 2024, she was featured in Klara’s De Twintigers radio series as one of Belgium’s most promising young voices.
Fleur Strijbos has a strong affinity for chamber music, valuing the intimacy and honesty that this music invites. She co-founded a Liedduo with pianist Babette Craens and formed Duo Leora with classical guitarist Emma Wills.






Lacunes is the debut album of soprano Fleur Strijbos, SWUK Vlaanderen Laureate 2026, together with pianist Babette Craens.
At its heart lies Robert Schumann’s Sechs Gedichte von Nikolaus Lenau und Requiem, a song cycle steeped in longing, fragility, and inner searching. From this core unfolds a rich and varied musical journey, featuring songs by Webern, Strauss, Barber, and beyond, with a special focus on contemporary Belgian composers.
Release date: 28 March
