About this concert
For once we did not give you a sneak preview: the programme of this concert triptych remained top secret until after the events on 25 August 2023.

About the performers
The Huelgas Ensemble, founded by Paul Van Nevel and named after the thirteenth-century Codex Las Huelgas, has for over forty years been one of the leading ensembles in the area of medieval and Renaissance music. The ensemble works with varying vocal and instrumental line-ups according to the requirements of the repertoire. The Huelgas Ensemble has given many memorable performances at the festival and has made more than a hundred recordings of music from the thirteenth to the beginning of the seventeenth century, for example Dufay, Brumel, de Rore, Richafort, de Kerle, Ferrabosco, Palestrina, Lassus and Ashewell. Since 2019, the Huelgas Ensemble organizes its own annual festival in the picturesque Burgundian village Talant.
In the early 70s conductor Paul Van Nevel founded his Huelgas Ensemble and has become one of the champions of European polyphony from the 12th to the 16th centuries. Van Nevel has been a guest professor at various conservatoires and is honorary guest conductor of the Nederlands Kamerkoor. He has received various awards, including the Prix in Honorem of the Académie Charles Cros, an Edison, a Diapason d’Or and the Cannes Classical Award. 2018 saw the publication of his book Het landschap van de polyfonisten: De wereld van de Franco-Flamands (1400-1600) (The Landscape of the Polyphonists: The world of the Franco-Flemish composers (1400-1600)).
