Musica Divina introduces its very first festival composer: Noah Senden

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!

​Old Masters, New Sounds

What happens when centuries-old polyphony engages with the music of today? ClubMediéval and SPECTRA present a daring encounter between the polyphony of the Low Countries and groundbreaking contemporary music. The dark, silent night forms the starting point in Orlandus Lassus’s La nuict froide et sombre, in a new arrangement for five instruments by Daan Janssens. Ockeghem also inspires contemporary composer Harrison Birtwistle, whilst Frederik Neyrinck creates a new work based on music by Bedyngham, together with sopranos Lore Binon and Lieselot De Wilde. Discover it on 29 September during Musica Divina in Mol.
