A live recording of one of Flanders' premier vocal ensembles exhibiting a wide range of technique in three centuries of music.
NOTE: All of the music from this concert, made in cooperation with the Corcoran Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., features the ensemble Forlana Consort. They provided this brief history: the Forlana Consort arose from the mixed choir “Crescendo” of Zottegem.
Wouter Bossaer, the conductor of “Crescendo”, contacted Chantal and Koenraad and made the first proposals to create a vocal ensemble to work around Close Harmony and Flemish Polyphony. We contacted some more people and in June 2001 we were able to start rehearsals. In the same period Forlana recorded their second CD with music of the Flemish Polyphonists as you will hear during this concert. On November 4, 2004 the ensemble created a concert titled “In contrast” It contrasted contemporary Close Harmony with the Polyphony of old Flanders. You can also hear the Forlana Consort sing the High Masses in the convent of the “Grauwzusters Penitenten” in Velzeke, Zottegem on a regular basis.

We continue our association with our partners at the Flemish Government Office at the Belgian Embassy in Washington, D.C., and the Tourist Office in New York. For information on Flanders, please visit the Web site:
