Tiburtina Ensemble & Oltremontano Antwerpen
Gathered for a huge, true-to-life reproduction of the altarpiece God the Father with Music-making Angels, Tiburtina Ensemble and Oltremontano breathe new life into Hans Memling’s imagination of 15th-century musical practices. For this special project, historical instruments were recreated exactly as depicted by the Bruges master. Gregorian chants and polyphony from late medieval Flemish sources form a portal to Memling’s vision of paradise: a living sound tableau that stimulates all the senses.
