Friends Presentation Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht 2026
We constantly encounter voices in the history of music. People speak, shout, sing, using their bodies, instruments and objects as voices. Voices can communicate as equals, as in Franco-Flemish polyphony. Or they can be organised hierarchically, as in High Baroque music. During the Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht 2026, we will explore the early music voice in all its colours and meanings.
Would you like to hear first-hand what is on the festival programme? On Sunday 10 May, festival director Xavier Vandamme will explain the programme during a special meeting for Friends. The guest will be the young and brilliant Spanish harpsichordist Irene Roldán.
