About this concert

By the 14th century the Duchy of Burgundy had made Bruges its official residence. The city became a magnet for artists. The Gruuthuse manuscript, the oldest known collection of Middle Dutch songs, gives expression to the ebullient character of Bruges the metropolis. ClubMediéval juxtaposes these songs with works by Oswald von Wolkenstein and Machaut.

About the performers

The musicians of ClubMediéval share a passion for music of the Late Middle Ages. They seek each other out to spin their polyphonic threads, to hold their webs up to the light and to use them to wrap up their audience. They are of the opinion that this medieval music has a special, poetic relevance in our hectic times. Thomas Baeté is ClubMediéval’s artistic director. The ensemble is based in Brussels and is made up of singers and instrumentalists from various European countries.
