A commission of the French Consulate in Boston and premiered a few months after the 2019 fire which destroyed in part the Notre Dame cathedral, this program was again performed in 2022 to public and critical acclaim, toured domestically in April 2024, and is available for touring.
Medieval Paris was not only a center of learning, debate, art, and architecture: it was also a capital of musical creation and innovation, the most important in Europe. You will hear the magnificent vocal music sung within the walls of the great cathedral, as well as miracle tales, student songs, and minstrel turns performed in Notre Dame’s shadow, on either bank of the steadily flowing Seine. A feast!
Cast: 4 men, 3 women, and one instrumentalist (vielle and harp)
This program welcomes the participation of an adjunct choir.
A video of the full concert is available on demand.
