Maegdelycke klanken, music for the Maagdenhuis of Antwerp

Mensurabilis and the Maagdenhuismuseum of Antwerp worked together for the first time in 2009. During the “Night of the Museum”, the ensemble performed the sonnet of the Faustina Statue, 375 years after its inception, thanks to their transcription work.

The partnership continues and the ladies perform at least once a year within the walls of the former orphanage for girls.

The research related to the music that may have sounded there, is now collated in this publication (also in English) with CD. Also available in digital format.
