Laus Polyphoniae, the flagship of the Festival Van Vlaanderen-Antwerp, is one of the most important European festivals of its kind. Since 1994, this event, which centres on ancient and polyphonic music, has taken place during the last weeks of August. Every year, the festival concentrates on a theme or a composer, and puts an internationally renowned ensemble in the spotlight. In 2009, Laus Polyphoniae will focus on music life in the papal chapel in Rome. Philippe Herreweghe and the soloists of Collegium Vocale Ghent will serve as artists in residence. This year, Laus Polyphoniae will run from 22 until 30 August.
