Concert, Pembroke College, Cambridge: 'The Consolation of Song' - Reconstructions from the Cambridge fragment

After their sell-out performance in April Benjamin Bagby and Sequentia return to Cambridge to present songs from Boethius’ Consolation of Philosophy. The melodies have been reconstructed from a rediscovered leaf of the 11th-century ‘Cambridge Songs Manuscript’ for the first time in 1000 years as part of a long term collaborative project with Dr Sam Barrett of the Faculty of Music at the University of Cambridge.

There will be a pre-concert talk from 7pm-7.30pm by Dr Sam Barrett on the reconstruction process.
