On 19 February, Bart Demuyt, general manager of the Alamire Foundation, will host one of the ‘Food for Thought-evenings’ at museum M Leuven about the thrilling discovery of the Leuven Chansonnier. How did this precious artifact end up in Leuven? Who bought it? How do you present such a find to a broad audience? What role does innovative technology play in the study and disclosure of a source like this? Discover the answers to these and many more questions in dialogue with songs from the songbook, performed live during the lecture by the vocal-instrumental Sollazzo Ensemble under the direction of Anna Danilevskaia.

Book your free ticket quickly, as only a few places remain. Too late? Don’t worry—you can still visit the XR media installation rondeau / forty-nine* and discover the manuscript until 22 February as part of the exhibition The Pursuit of Knowledge. And you can catch the Leuven Chansonnier documentary on alamire.tv.
