Have you ever wondered about Byzantine chant, Gregorian chant's lesser-known eastern cousin? Come and find out! Greek Orthodox cantor Photini Downie Robinson will lead you through the history, theory, solfège, and notational system of this ancient psaltic art in a fun, hands-on, and collaborative way. By the end, you'll be able to chant a simple hymn from Byzantine notation.

Get into a medieval mindset by joining the Trouvère debate club! Dialogue songs, known as jeux-partis, were a favorite pastime for artists of the noble and bourgeois classes in 12th- and 13th-century France. Join us as we explore this fascinating and often humorous repertoire and what it can teach us about how real medieval people thought and spoke about societal norms. (No singing required)
No RSVP - just come!
