Each Month in Basel

ReRenaissance invites audiences to immerse themselves in a richly coloured sound world that is vibrant, surprising, and diverse.  Each month, new and carefully researched concert programmes are premiered, making Renaissance music not only audible but truly experiential. Audiences encounter rare instruments, timbres, and captivating stories from a seemingly lost world, presented by Renaissance music specialists from the Basel region and beyond.

At the same time, ReRenaissance serves as a forum for exchange between music, scholarship, craftsmanship, and the performing arts. Each concert is unique – a world premiere that sheds new light on a particular place, time, source, or idea from the Renaissance. Together, these programmes form a panorama of “music before 1600” that is as educational as it is sensorial: a cultural experience of international significance.

In the news

BR-Klassik reports on the January 2025 concert about “sung news” circa 1525 in German broadsheets.

“Particularly fitting is Marc Lewon, who, strumming his cittern like a cross between a street balladeer and Bob Dylan and singing with a fine voice, boldly delivers all fifty stanzas of a contemporary eyewitness-news report.”
