It's the 500th anniversary of the death of Pierre de la Rue today! Why not commemorate the occasion by buying a ticket for our concert on Tues 11 Dec at @StJohnsSmithSq? Featuring lots of his music, and other Renaissance Xmas delights. Tickets here: sjss.org.uk/events/brabant…

Hooray! A track from our new Brabant Ensemble disc of Antoine de Févin featured on today's Choir and Organ. Thanks Sara Mohr-Pietsch! Details of the disc on the BBC Radio 3 show page, and we're live at St John's Smith Square on Tue 11 Dec.

Thank you!

At 5pm today we shall be on In Tune BBC Radio 3, singing Févin, La Rue, and Vaet. Our concert is tomorrow evening at @StJohnsSmithSq.

Stephen Rice on how Brabant Ensemble find hidden gems of sacred choral music from 16th century: "Increasingly I'm finding these pieces online, on digital archives from libraries. There are still things coming out of the woodwork, so we're hoping for more discoveries!"

Brabant Ensemble have a new disc exploring the work of "a virtually unknown but very worthy composer", Antoine de Févin (Classics Today). They also have a Christmas concert at @StJohnsSmithSq tomorrow!

Thank you!

It's our final day of recording music by the "Wolf Pack": Johannes Lupi and Lupus Hellinck. Lupi's 8-part Salve celeberrima Virgo is just stunning (hints of Gombert's Lugebat) and we love Hellinck's Missa Surrexit pastor too. Out this autumn on Hyperion Records Ltd.

But now finally the #bedtimetunes Brabant Ensemble with some sublime, hypnotic Morales C16th polyphonic ebb and flow, recorded in the warm acoustic of the Chapel of @MertonCollege The cover painting by the way is by Fra Angelico from c1450-55
