Concert L’Imprimeur de Dürer, consort Mirabile

The Consort Mirabile is a vocal and instrumental ensemble specialising in Renaissance music. They invite you to discover their new programme, whose title, *Dürer’s Printer*, evokes the figure of Hieronymus Formschneider (c. 1485–1556). Formschneider was a wood engraver of great virtuosity, who collaborated notably with Albrecht Dürer. Formschneider’s reputation was such that his workshop in Nuremberg was frequently visited by Emperor Maximilian himself. Following Dürer’s death, he turned his hand to music printing in collaboration with the publisher Hans Ott and, between 1534 and 1555, published a considerable number of works, both secular and sacred, by composers such as Heinrich Isaac, Ludwig Senfl, Josquin Desprez, as well as Cristobal de Morales, Thomas Crequillon and Nicolas Gombert… The programme for this evening: 6.00 pm: introduction to the concert with the artists from the ‘Mirabile, Nuremberg in 1534’ concert. 7.00 pm: drinks and light refreshments on the church square (drinks and local snacks available on site). 8.00 pm: concert ‘Dürer’s Printer’ by the Mirabile consort.
