Women and music in the Middle Ages

In this research project, Patricia combines her feminism with her passion for medieval music.  She is looking for women in the medieval repertoire, as their voices are seldomly heard.   

 

The results of her quest can be discovered from September 2026.  She has an online course coming up, as well as a lecture with an accompanying concert.  More details will be available shortly.

Previous research projects

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.
