Modern Medieval
Secret messages, unruly rhythms, and harmonies that refuse to sit still: the past turns out to be full of surprises. We bring music by Rodericus, Solage, Nicola Vicentino, and Nathaniel Giles together with works by living composers, including our own Christopher Otto and Austin Wulliman. Across the centuries, these composers share a love of musical games and a willingness to try something strange. We follow those connections with curiosity and wit, giving your audience a lively way into old music and new.
