This summer, Blue Heron travels to Belgium, the birthplace of many of the composers whose music we sing for you here at home: Johannes Okeghem, Guillaume Du Fay, Gilles Binchois, Jacob Obrecht, Cipriano de Rore, Giaches de Wert, Adrian Willaert, and many, many more.
Follow our tour blog as we rehearse in Watertown, travel to Belgium, and sing two programs at the world’s leading festival of vocal polyphony, Laus Polyphoniae!

Blue Heron is engaged in the exploration of Renaissance and medieval vocal music, putting the study of original sources in the service of vivid live performance. Widely regarded as the finest ensemble of its type in North America, Blue Heron presents a subscription series in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and a catalog of exceptional recordings is available on the Blue Heron label. The ensemble’s accolades include the 2018 Gramophone Classical Music Award for Early Music, making Blue Heron the first group from outside Europe to receive the award; the Noah Greenberg Award from the American Musicological Society; and the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik. Touring engagements have taken the group across the United States, Canada, England, and Europe.
