About the performers

The ensemble Psallentes was founded in 2000 by singer and conductor Hendrik Vanden Abeele. The ensemble seeks out plainchant and associated polyphony from various historical periods. Particular attention is paid to plainchant of the late Middle Ages and Renaissance. Insights into this are fostered by practice-based research by Vanden Abeele. Since 2007 Psallentes has been operating in male-only and female-only line-ups.
