On 30 January, the Alamire Foundation had the pleasure of welcoming Xavier Lapeyre de Cabanes, the French Ambassador to Belgium, together with his delegation.

During their visit they were given an in-depth look at the organization's mission and activities. In the House of Polyphony, they were introduced to the rich collection of instruments that supports the Alamire Foundation's valorization projects. The delegation then continued to the Library of Voices, the beating heart of our scientific research, where they were introduced to the innovative methods used in our high-tech labs in order to digitize, analyze, and disseminate musical heritage.

The visit highlighted the appreciation for the work of the Alamire Foundation and offered an inspiring opportunity to strengthen cultural exchange with France, with an eye to future projects surrounding Philip the Good (Dijon) and the millennium celebrations of William the Conqueror (Caen) in 2027, as well as continued collaboration with the Monastère royal de Brou (Bourg-en-Bresse).
