Dionysos Now!

In the footsteps of Willaert | 26 - 30 Nov 2025

Dionysos Now!

In the footsteps of Willaert
Adrian Willaert was astonished when he suddenly heard his own music in the Vatican in 1515, wrongly attributed to Josquin Desprez! It was the bizarre start of a brilliant international career with which Willaert made a deep impression on Venetian Renaissance polyphony. Dionysos Now! follows the trail of the Fleming, from his early successes, via the groundbreaking collection Musica Nova, to the elegies that colleagues and students wrote upon his death.
