Men of Bruges and their work: on tour through northern Italy

Did you buy a ticket for this concert?  The corona virus hits the arts industry hard and for many arts organisations, this economic damage comes on top of the recent cuts in Flemish cultural subsidies. This is why we call on our audience not to ask for a refund of cancelled tickets, in solidarity with the artists. The financial resources thus retained will be fully invested by the Concertgebouw in the artists most affected by job losses. You can also get your ticket value back in the form of a voucher. You will receive this voucher via e-mail in the upcoming weeks. The voucher can be used for a performance of your choice via concertgebouw.be and is valid for one year. You can thus easily use this voucher for the purchase of tickets for this season or the following.
Confirm your choice by May 20 2020 in the digital form via this link.

Giovanni Arnolfini's Choirbook reached Italy thanks to John Hothby. This English composer, singer and musical theorist made such a name for himself in Bruges that Lucca Cathedral was eager to hire him. And so, led by an Englishman, Italian vocalists started to sing ‘northern’ music. La Fonte Musica explore how that may have sounded in, among other things, a Mass by Heyns and motets by Dufay. From Hothby himself we hear Una panthera, a reference to the City of Lucca's coat of arms.
