# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Byrd International Singers: Franco-Flemish Masters
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 18 Jul, 2026 at 06:30 pm
- **Event Description**: Byrd International Singers presents a program of Franco-Flemish choral music at the striking Brantôme Abbey, a Benedictine abbey founded in 769 by Charlemagne himself on the banks of the River Dronne. 

The Franco-Flemish composers of the Renaissance transformed European music through their mastery of polyphony—the art of weaving independent vocal lines into a rich and expressive whole. This concert will feature three of the greatest masters of the tradition: Josquin des Prez (c. 1450–1521), whose music was celebrated throughout Europe for its eloquence and emotional depth; Jacob Clemens non Papa (c. 1510–1556), one of the most prolific composers of the sixteenth century, admired for his seamless counterpoint and luminous sacred works; and Orlando di Lasso (1532–1594), whose versatility and expression made him one of the most renowned musicians of his time.
