Free Entry

Lonesome lovers. Beguiling songsters. Provocative nightingales. Friends at play. These are a few of the characters you will encounter in this programme of songs from the courts of 12th-century France. Performing in different spaces around Beverley Minster, the eyes of the medieval carved minstrels upon them, our singers and narrator unfold how medieval songs were the ultimate medium of sanctuary – a theme resonant with Beverley’s history and the Minster itself.

Singers from Siglo de Oro lead the audience on a journey around this spectacular building, just as the medieval trouvères themselves were itinerant. Then as now, they form joyful and creative connections among song-makers, performers and audiences, near and far.

The programme is connected to the UKRI-funded project, ‘Musical Lives: Towards an Historical Anthropology of French Song 1100-1300’, hosted at King’s College London. This project is led, and the research introduced today, by Beverley-born Professor Emma Dillon, Thurston Dart Professor of Music (Medieval Music and Cultures) at King’s.
