Fernand Terby

**Fernand Terby** (1928–2004) was a Belgian conductor, cellist, and music educator who left a lasting mark on Flanders’ classical and operetta scenes. Born in Schaarbeek, he studied cello at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels and later won Monaco’s International Conductor Competition in 1953, pivoting to a conducting career. He led ensembles like the Belgian National Orchestra (1978–1988) and the Flemish Television’s Variété and Festival Orchestra while gaining renown for his vast musical repertoire and precision. Terby also nurtured future talent, teaching orchestral conducting at the Antwerp Conservatory in the 1970s and contributing to projects like *In Flanders’ Fields*, a series highlighting Belgian composers. His legacy blends performance, education, and advocacy for regional music.
