About the Ensemble Hermes
Ensemble Hermes focuses on the authentic performance of 16th-century polyphony and also performs contemporary music related to polyphony. The project ensemble consists of experienced amateurs as well as music students and professionals. During performances, the singers make music around a large music stand that was specially designed and made for this ensemble. Where possible, singing is done from copies of the original manuscripts. To this end, all singers have mastered the so-called mensural notation, which is common in manuscripts.
