A Distant Mirror: The Twilight of the Gothic Era & Dawn of the Renaissance

Medieval illustration: a winged woman in brown stands as four women in colorful gowns play string instruments in a grassy, starlit landscape with a decorative border.

Featuring both voice and instrumental performance on vielle, lute, gittern, harp, recorder, douçaine, and bagpipe, the program will include works by, among others, Johannes Ciconia, Trebor, Johannes Senleches, Solage, Guillaume de Machaut, Guillaume Dufay, and Gilles Binchois, rousing dance music from medieval Florence and finely wrought instrumental arrangements from the Faenza codex and the Buxheim Organ book.
