Musical Sundays 2025
During July and August, “Musical Sundays” are organized: every Sunday during the 11 am mass, choirs from outside the cathedral, both Belgian and foreign, enhance the service and perform a Mass and motets from the sacred polyphonic repertoire.
The repertoire ranges from Gregorian to Renaissance polyphony, as well as from Baroque to modern times
The sacred polyphonic repertoire and Gregorian chant are accompanied by the two titular organists, Bart Jacobs and Xavier Deprez.
