Graindelavoix is a multidisciplinary artistic project and collective of artists based in Antwerp. It was founded in the early 21st century by anthropologist and ethnomusicologist Björn Schmelzer. A fascination with the voice, the genealogy of vocal repertoires, and their relationship to emotions, history, and cultures are some of the elements that form the basis of its philosophy and work. After its initial public performances, its first recording—Missa Caput by Johannes Ockeghem (Glossa, 2006)—helped catapult Graindelavoix onto the international stage. Graindelavoix is recognized for its pioneering and entirely new approach to early repertoires. It has received numerous awards, including the Edison Prize, three Klara Music Awards, the Caecilia Prize from the Belgian music press, and several awards from international music magazines such as Répertoire, Pizzicato, and Scherzo. In 2011, Graindelavoix collaborated with Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker's dance company Rosas on the production of the show Cesena, which premiered in Avignon. It regularly creates multimedia and multidisciplinary projects such as the films Ossuaires and Muntagna Nera, or the play based on early 16th-century German polyphony, Trabe Dich Thierlein, which premiered at the Weimar Arts Festival in 2014. It has performed at major venues such as the Zomer Van Antwerpen, Laus Polyphoniae, Moussem Festival, Behoud de Begeerte, Berliner Festspiele, Brooklyn Academy of Music, Alkantara Festival, Wratislavia Cantans, Alte Musik Regensburg, Kunstfest Weimar Ruhrtriennale, Festival de Santes, Avignon Festival, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, De Doelen Rotterdam, and Bozar Brussels festivals, among others. Since 2015, Graindelavoix has been in residence at the Royaumont Foundation near Paris.
