[NL] Musica Mediaevalis 8/40 – Hildegard von Bingen
Hildegard von Bingen is een buitenbeentje. Over deze krachtige en prachtige vrouw weten we niet alles wat we zouden willen weten, en dat is erg jammer, maar misschien heeft net dat er toe bijgedragen dat zij tot op vandaag een bijzondere, mythische, ja heilige status inneemt te midden van alle Middeleeuwse figuren.

[ENG] Recitations and Reconsiderations [3/15] “Words are important because they are not the most important”
„Words are important because they are not the most important“ In the debate on artistic research, the points of view on the what, why and how tend to be highly divergent. Although this divergence can be considered as a sign of the discipline’s youth as well as its methodological potential – to some it is... Continue Reading →
