In the organizer's words:
What is it with music? - "As if its origin were already the moment of its greatest uprooting and the roots were only conjured up at the moment when the trauma of modernity becomes unbearable." (B. Schmelzer)
The ensemble "Graindelavoix" and its director Björn Schmelzer understand the late Middle Ages as a highly modern era. The Belgian chamber choir dedicates itself to the untapped treasures of a musical epoch that seems both infinitely distant and very close, with supernaturally perfect harmony and highly individual voices. Guillaume de Machaut is still the best known of these masters of early polyphony, whose almost "unnatural" rhythmic and harmonic experiments opened the gates of music history wide open: Johannes Ciconia, Matteo de Perugia, Jacob de Senleches, Guido de Lange ...
The international concerts of "Graindelavoix" are always adventures and time travel, rock'n roll and archaic ritual at the same time. As the sun sets, the long hall will be transformed into a maelstrom of sound.
