Collaborating with Chanticleer in Berkeley

NEWSNEWSLETTERSPRESS RELEASE
Written By Beth Beauchamp

We are excited for our double-header debut on the Berkeley Early Music Festival, where we’ll perform alongside the Grammy award-winning ensemble, Chanticleer, and continue to celebrate our latest album release!

June 9: Along with other works by Machaut, Chanticleer & Alkemie perform the Messe de Nostre Dame, one of the first multi-movement, large-scale notated compositions to exist in the Western canon. Chanticleer and Alkemie take the approach of adding instruments to the resonant textures of the mass, as well as to the secular pieces on the program.

June 11: You’ll want to dance during our reprisal of Love to My Liking, which Early Music America described as “drawing as much on contemporary folk and Celtic styles as Medieval historical performance practice, the tracks frequently teem with a rustic, down-home swagger…period percussion supports the ensemble of strings and winds with a firm and zesty beat.” Alkemie pairs this evening show with an afternoon medieval dance workshop.
