Sunday, October 20 at 5:30pm
Haydn Hall at CWRU
11118 Bellflower Rd, Cleveland, OH 44106
Trobár welcomes you to come obsess with us about medieval author Christine de Pizan and the music of her era. As a teaser for our upcoming shows (Oct. 25-26) featuring her proto-feminist work, we introduce you to some of the musical practices prevalent in early 15th c. France, including aural learning, the Guidonian hand and hexachordal solmization, fauxbourdon, mensural notation, and counterpoint. Bring instruments (pitch=A440), voices, and appetites (musical and culinary) for this fun and educational chance to muck about in the 15th century!

Sunday, November 10 at 4pm
The Brownhoist
4403 St Clair Ave., Cleveland, OH 44103
Following up on our summer dance MuckAbout, this November we’ll learn two new dances from the Gresley MS, the earliest extant source of English dance choreographies (c. 1500). Come in comfortable clothes and shoes and/or with an instrument tuned to A440 so that you can join Jonathan in the band.
