This concert is part of the Early Music Guild's new First Tuesday series. It's the kind of medieval playing I've been waiting ten years for! Please come.

Gracieusette:
Medieval and traditional French fiddles and song

Ruthie Dornfeld and Shulamit Kleinerman, vielles and percussion
Ruth Hunter, voice and percussion

Join this unique ensemble for an exploration of the affinity between medieval French melodies and the living folk music traditions of Provence and Auvergne. On matched vielles, Ruthie Dornfeld and Shulamit Kleinerman perform in the troubadour tradition, bringing medieval harmonies to life with spontaneous folk-inflected improvisations. Traditional singer Ruth Hunter brings a fresh, earthy sound to medieval and traditional tunes alike. When this ensemble sets the rigaudons and bourrees of the folk tradition side by side with the estampies and trouvere songs of the Middle Ages, neither repertoire remains the same!
