Inspired by Hans Memling’s altarpiece for a Spanish nunnery, and using instruments built especially for this project, historical brass ensemble Oltremontano Antwerp and the female vocal ensemble Tiburtina join forces for a program focused on fifteenth-century monophonic chant and polyphonic pieces. Recorded live in concert July 16, 2024 in The Church of Our Lady of the Slavs of the Emmaus Monastery, as part of Prague’s Summer Festivities of Early Music.
Thanks to WFMT’s association with the European Broadcasting Union, we’re able to bring you tonight’s program as a stream for thirty days following the broadcast. A blue “Listen” button will appear when the stream is accessible.
