ach day held a sonic surprise: 24 short videos of Renaissance music enlivened Advent 2021 – each freshly hosted by Grace Newcombe and Marc Lewon. Thereby
Christmas carols to sing along with and other highlights from past concerts were combined in a varied way with twelve video clips on the Josquin year.

In the spirit of REUSE, the videos are still accessible. The days of the week are no longer correct, but that does little harm: the fun is still there …
