Like the troubadours in the South, the trouvères of Northern France wrote some of the most captivating vocal music of the 13th-century. In an age long before iPods, these poet-composers penned the music they wanted to hear and share. Their songs of public and private adoration wove together allusions both sacred and secular– creating mystical and spicy meditations on love and longing. Elena Mullins (soprano) has reconstructed much of this program from medieval manuscripts – bringing new life to an art form with strong oral and improvisatory traditions.
This groupmuse will be held at Ordinary Mind Zendo. We're located at 107 74th Street, Apt BR between Columbus and Amsterdam, closer to Columbus. Just a reminder this is not a dry county, and we ask that you and your guests kindly each bring a beverage - bottle of wine, bottle of seltzer, six pack, whatever you desire. Also, don't forget to hit the ATM before hand and bring cash for our musicians. They are extremely talented and well deserving of it. If you have any questions, please feel free to email - [email protected]. Hope to see you there!
