An educational programme with early music. A preview of the Reincken Festival, held on 27 and 28 May in Deventer. The theme of this edition is ‘Hanse and Burgundy’, Burgundy music from the 1350-1500 period.
The theme of the fifth edition of the Reincken Festival Oude Muziek (Early Music) Deventer is ‘Hanse and Burgundy’. The focus will be on early golden ages of Holland between 1350 and 1500.
Because of this, many ensembles have been invited that specialize in 14th and 15th-century music, such as: Aventure, Fala Música, Cappella Pratensis and ensemble Fortuna.
Many fringe concerts by young musicians can also be heard.
The festival’s entire programme can be found here: www.reinckenfestival.nl under ‘Programma 2011’.
Right after the opening on the morning of Friday 27 May, the Aventure ensemble will begin with music by Oswald von Wolkenstein and the Gruuthuse-handwriting. This will take place at De Hereeniging in Deventer.
