12 Jul 14th Century Avant-garde
Live Performances Nov. 22-24, 2024
An all-star cast brings the hypnotic complexities of 14th-century music to life!
Medieval music sounded remarkably modern in the hands of forward-thinking composers like Guillaume de Machaut, Jacob Senleches, and Johannes Suzoy. Their music displayed freedom of thought, fearlessly explored rhythmic complexity, and pushed the limits of what was possible to both notate and perform. Stellar singers Sophie Michaux and James Reese join multi-instrumentalists Scott Metcalfe and Debra Nagy for this mesmerizing program. This concert will not be filmed. Instead, Virtual Subscribers will enjoy the re-release of Machaut’s Lai of the Fountain (2021).
