Back to the 1780's! If it sounded good back then, why not today?
Almost 300 years ago, some musicians from around Antwerp, Brussels, Gent and Leuven decided to write down their favourite music. As time passed, however, the paper turned yellow, the ink began to fade, and the music itself was left to gather dust along with the faded manuscripts…

That is, until now! With their finely textured arrangements WÖR injects new energy into 18th-century melodies from the Flanders region of Belgium. Their music shines an inventive spotlight, with a modern twist, on the melodies in these manuscripts.

They released 2 albums ('Back to the 1780's' (2015) and Sssht (2017) and toured in Europe, Australia, Canada & the US (including Musikfestspiele Potsdam Sanssouci, Concertgebouw Brugge, the National Folk Festival,..). In August 2018 they won the German award 'Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik' with their latest album 'Sssht'.
