The Script and Sound Seminar provides a platform for early music research at KBR – Royal Library of Belgium, with particular attention to the sources preserved there. It takes place in the context of the FED-tWIN programme From Script to Sound, which frames a long-term collaboration between KBR and the Alamire Foundation, aimed at studying the musical heritage from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.
