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.
