Paul Van Nevel

Paul Van Nevel is artistic director of the Huelgas Ensemble, founded by him in 1970 as a followup of his activities at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. Because of its interdisciplinary approach of the original sources – considering with equal attention literature, obsolete articulation, temperament, tempo and rhetoric – while concurrently taking into account the spirit of the age, the ensemble is considered one of Europe’s most prestigious groups for the performance of polyphonic music from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.  PaulVan Nevel is actively searching for unknown works, among them buried treasures of Flemish polyphony. He is a guest professor at the Musikhochschule Hannover and regularly conducts other ensembles, such as the Dutch Chamber Choir and the Danish Radio Choir. He wrote, among others, a monograph on Johannes Ciconia and a work on Nicolas Gombert. For the publisher Bärenreiter he also edited transcriptions of Renaissance music.  Paul Van Nevel received various distinctions: the Prix in Honorem of the Académie Charles Cros, several Diapasons d’Or, the Cannes Classical Award, several Chocs of Le Monde de la Musique, and several Caecilia prizes of the Belgian music press.
