Aequalis & Marco Mencoboni
The Mechelen Choir Book
Laus Polyphoniae has been supporting young talent for a long time. This year again we provide a stage for an emergent ensemble. The young Belgian singers collective Aequalis sings, just like 500 years ago, in the choir of Our Ladys Cathedral selected Mass parts from the Mechelen Choir Book, one of the most precious works of art owned by the Flemish Community. This magnificent and voluminous manuscript contains Masses by Pierre de la Rue and Matthaeus Pipelare. Aequalis has chosen to perform the Missa pascale of de la Rue. Before this mini concert you are welcome to admire the original manuscripts in the exhibition Petrus Alamire, Polyphony in the picture.
Each concert lasts around 25 minutes.
This concert is also programmed on: wednesday 19/08, thursday 20/08, friday 21/08 and sunday 23/08.
