Chanticleer Sings Machaut

With Machaut, the world-renowned vocal ensemble and GRAMMY® Award-winner Chanticleer turns its attention to one of the greatest composers of the fourteenth century: Guillaume de Machaut. Under the direction of Tim Keeler, the ensemble presents a program that illuminates both the spiritual and secular sides of this exceptional poet-composer.

Ballads that defy time

With Songs from the North Country, Rosemary Standley and François Lazarevitch build a bridge between British folk music and the historically informed performance practice of Les Musiciens de Saint-Julien. The programme draws from a rich collection of English, Scottish and Irish ballads, including classics such as Scarborough Fair, Katie Cruel and The Last Rose of Summer, complemented by instrumental interludes and traditional dance melodies.
