Lamentations full of hope 

For half a century, Paul Van Nevel and his Huelgas Ensemble have been a cornerstone in the authentic performance practice of early polyphonic choral music. They blend decades of experience and a profound understanding of music from ages past with a contemporary, spontaneous approach to music-making, creating concerts that are as emotionally resonant today as the music was centuries ago. Ancient scores sound like new. 
  
The lamentations composed by Orlando di Lasso in memory of the destruction of Jerusalem – more than six hundred years before the birth of Jesus – hold a timeless grace, showing us music’s power to turn sorrow into sublime beauty. In calm, flowing lines, Di Lasso’s notes interweave the sad story of destruction with a sense of hope for redemption and reconciliation. It is a longing for a better world that feels more relevant than ever in today’s turbulent times.
