A few years after winning the 6th prize in the Queen Elisabeth Competition, Groslot also turns to conducting. In 1991, he founded the symphonic orchestra Il Novecento. With this orchestra, he performs, from 1991, during the Night of the Proms. In the mid 1990's he also founded two Belgian youth orchestras that served as a training ground for an entire generation of musicians, many of whom can be found working professionally throughout Europe.
