Wrap up the weekend with a program connecting Machaut to the next generation. Late-14th-century Ars subtilior (the “more subtle art”) composers built on his work, crafting songs about mysterious, smoky speculators known as fumeurs. Enjoy projected texts and illustrations, a taste of French food & drink, and—as an extra treat—learn how to sing and dance a virelai!
