Luc Van Hove received commissions from and was performed by numerous Belgian orchestras, ensembles and soloists, e.g. the [[Antwerp Symphony Orchestra]], Flemish Radio Orchestra ([[Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra]]), [[Belgian National Orchestra]], Beethoven Academie, Belgian cellist [[Roel Dieltiens]], Ensemble Explorations, I Fiamminghi, Cultural Capital of Europe Antwerp 93, [[November Music]], [[DeSingel]] in Antwerp, and pianist Levente Kende.

== Musical style ==
Luc Van Hove's works include symphonic settings, [[chamber music]], works for solo instruments, and choral works. In general, his oeuvre shows a preference for absolute and instrumental music, and interest in traditional genres such as the [[sonata]], [[concerto]], [[string quartet]], and [[symphony]]. Traditional genres and forms are combined with modern techniques, and an interest in quickly evolving, dense textures. Composers such as [[György Ligeti]], [[Béla Bartók]], and [[Witold Lutosławski|Wítold Lutoslawski]] had a noticeable influence on his musical style. Techniques of [[Variation (music)|variation]] and thematic development occupy a central role in his music. Typically, whole movements or even entire compositions are constructed out of the constant variation and thematic reworking of one limited [[pitch collection]], which is stated at the beginning of a piece, creating a strong harmonic coherence. According to Van Hove, his "ultimate goal is to create exciting music, by building up logical and coherent networks of basically harmonic relationships, in which every second of the music can either point back or forth to other moments of the piece."<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=Flanders Arts Institute {{!}} Music {{!}} Luc Van Hove|url=http://flandersmusic.be/lucvanhove|access-date=2022-01-29|website=flandersmusic.be}}</ref>
