Gallery B

The women of the acclaimed University Chamber Chorus will perform Guillaume de Machaut’s Le lai de la fonteinne, a series of short intricate rounds in praise of the Virgin Mary, and Hildegard of Bingen’s O tu illustrata, along with other a cappella chants. Machaut (1300–1377) and Hildegard (1098–1179) were two of the greatest poet-composers of the medieval era. Hear their timeless music in the magnificent acoustic splendor of the museum’s atrium.
