We’ll explore the courtly chansons that are the heart of his work\, sample his polytextual motets\, sing the celebrated Messe de Nostre Dame by candlelight in Emmanuel Church’s gothic Lindsey Chapel\, and finish up with a cabaret concert of songs by Machaut and the next generation\, the bewitchingly smoky Ars subtilior. \nCalendar of Events \nOpening Festivities: Keynote\, Performance & Sing-Along\nFriday\, May 1\, 2026\, 7:30 pm\nThe Allen Center\, 35 Webster St\, West Newton\, MA 02465\nTickets: $11.50–$32.50 \nOur celebration of Machaut begins with a keynote talk by one of the world’s leading scholars of 14th-century music\, Anne Stone (CUNY Graduate Center)\, performances of pieces in several of the genres represented in Machaut’s oeuvre\, and a sing-along of the Kyrie from the Messe de Nostre Dame.
