Medieval music ensemble Sequentia collaborates with noted scholars to reconstruct Classical texts sung in European monastic centers between the 9th and 12th centuries. Experience songs of Fortuna, Dido, Cleopatra, Hercules, and more as they would have been enjoyed around the turn of the first millennium. The deeply moving poems from Boethius’ Consolation of Philosophy will also be featured in reconstructions by director Benjamin Bagby and musicologist Sam Barrett of Cambridge University.
