…IN CAMBRIDGE, ENGLAND

The Parker Library at Cambridge, England currently houses one of the most important of all medieval musical manuscripts, the INCREDIBLE Vogüe-Ferrell Codex of music by Guillaume de Machaut. And it was our own Anne A., in the company of Shira Kammen and Fabio Accurso, who was chosen to sing some of the ravishing melodies from that source, to a select crowd of British patrons, movers and shakers…

Our spies were present for that early September event, and have sent us this post-performance snapshot. Having recently produced major Machaut events in Reims, the U.S., and the U.K., Anne now confides to us that she is on a Machaut roll….stay tuned for more!
