Biography

Currende was founded in 1974 by singer and conductor Erik Van Nevel. The performance style of this excellent group is recognizable by virtue of its transparency, its energizing vitality and its painstakingly scrupulous attention for text and language. The ensemble has a special affinity with the eccentric 17th century. It also emphatically promotes the fabulous, but regretfully lesser- known Flemish polyphonic repertoire. In addition, its sphere of operations extends to the great vocal works of Bach and Mozart. Very sporadically there is also a subtle juxtaposition of older music with contemporary vocal work. The ensemble has made numerous recordings, also during concert tours abroad. Among the orchestras that have been working with Currende regularly, we mention Anima Eterna, La Petite Bande, Concerto Köln, Concerto 91 Amsterdam and Il Giardino Armonico. In 2009 Currende toured with Anthems by Henry Purcell and Claudio Monteverdi's Vespro della Beata Vergine, while concurrently taking care of a new opera production with music by Orlandus Lassus and the young Flemish composer Joachim Brackx.
