Philippe Herreweghe conducts Monteverdi, Pärt and Messiaen

OMG! Van Eyck was here. Celebrating Jan van Eyck: Herreweghe and Collegium Vocale

Commissioned by the City of Ghent and on the occasion of the Van Eyck Year 2020, the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt wrote a new work with the world-famous altarpiece the “Adoration of the Mystic Lamb” as its starting point. Around this world creation, which was given the title “Für Jan van Eyck”, Philippe Herreweghe and Collegium Vocale Gent present an exquisite programme of mass movements, motets and organ works by Claudio Monteverdi, Anton Bruckner and Olivier Messiaen.
