At Musica Divina 2026, we welcome our first festival composer: Noah Senden. Senden, whose style is influenced by the Baltic choral tradition and spiritual minimalism, spent a week in retreat at Averbode Abbey. The result? A unique, evocative centrepiece that will come to life in different ways throughout the festival, performed by leading ensembles such as the Flemish Radio Choir, BRYGGEN Bruges Strings and ORLANDOviols. Don't miss Noah Senden's unique immersive sound installation on Saturday 19 September in Averbode!
On 19 September, Musica Divina invites you to the very first edition of Musica Divina Momentum at Averbode Abbey.
