City of Fools: Medieval Songs of Rule and Misrule

In this program, the renowned Boston Camerata explores age-old themes of justice and corruption as told through ancient minstrel songs, featuring satirical works from medieval France, Provence, and Germany that provide a sharply-etched and astonishingly contemporary perspective on our own nation’s current travails. The concert will include songs of the great Provençal troubadour and satirist Peire Cardenal, as well as pungent excerpts from Carmina Burana and the Roman de Fauvel.
