Pieter Mannaerts's Company Details
The Alamire Foundation was founded in 1991 as a cooperative association between the University of Leuven (KU Leuven, Musicology Research Unit) and the non-profit organisation Musica (Impulse Centre for Music). Its mission is to undertake, stimulate, and co-ordinate innovative research on music and musical life in the Low Countries from the early Middle Ages until 1800. It uses state-of-the-art methods, including digital preservation. The Foundation's innovative research results into monographs, critical editions, facsimile publications, and articles in leading journals. The Foundation also publishes its own 'Journal of the Alamire Foundation'. Alongside the traditional media, the Foundation aims to make its research results available to a broad audience through websites, exhibitions, and cultural events. Collaboration and contacts with leading academic and heritage institutions, concert organisations, and renewed ensembles and performers result in international conferences, music laboratories, concerts, festivals, and exhibitions. Through a continuous dialogue with scholars and musicians all over the world, the Alamire Foundation thus offers a unique and leading forum for both research and music practice.
