WELCOME Music in the North/Central European and Baltic Hanseatic cities from 1350 to 1650: these are almost uncharted waters, to say the least! All the more reason for Laus Polyphoniae 2008 to devote not only a series of fascinating concerts to the subject, but also an international colloquium. This is a result of a close collaboration between the Flanders Festival Antwerp - Laus Polyphoniae and the Alamire Foundation, International Centre for the Study of Music in the Low Countries. A word of thanks goes to the staff of both organisations, and in particular to Sofie Taes for her work on the conference programme and organisation, Ann Hasendonckx - who was a great help in administrative and various other matters, Handan Narin and Kathleen Engels for taking care of accommodation and communication, to the directors of the festival Laus Polyphoniae, Lieve Schaubroeck and Koen Froberg. A word of thanks also goes to Karel Moens, who agreed to open the instruments museum ‘Vleeshuis’ especially for the conference participants, and to the City of Antwerp for its warm welcome. Finally, I would like to extend a word of welcome to all of you here and thank you for your interest, your presence and your enthusiastic participation.
