Welcome to our 2023-2024 Season!
“Puzzles and Games”
Music of the Middle Ages and Renaissance is full of puzzles, acrostics and tricks that would put Wordle to shame. This includes some of our most treasured works by Machaut, Josquin, Ockeghem and even Palestrina. Dr. Baker and Jouyssance will take you through the clever minds of these and other composers.
