“Egida Sartori” Early Music Seminars

Call for young singers and instrumentalists specialised in late-medieval or renaissance repertoires: THE LEUVEN CHANSONNIER

 

Discovered in 2015, the Leuven chansonnier is an important source for our knowledge of late-fifteenth-century French-Flemish chansons.

The seminar will focus on the unica pieces, those still requiring special attention as to their possible attributions and stylistic features.

The seminar’s main lecturer will be Anna Danilevskaia, an expert medievalist who, with her famous Ensemble Sollazzo, recently recorded the entire contents of the chansonnier. Some of the musicologists active in the exegesis of the new source will assist the seminar with presentations or round tables.
