Early Music Michigan Event Calendar

A Baroque Noël

December 1, 2024 – 3 p.m.
Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, Portage, MI

To celebrate the Christmas season, we will present the Messe de Minuit of Marc-Antoine Charpentier. This special mass is based on ten beloved French Noëls, which we will feature in settings for organ and chamber ensemble. To that end, we will be joined by Michigan-based historical performance ensemble “Les Écuries du Roy,” an oboe band who will perform with us on reproductions of seventeenth-century instruments.


Douce Dame Jolie: Christine de Pizan and Guillaume de Machaut in Dialogue

June 1, 2025 – 3 p.m.
First Congregational Church, Kalamazoo

Although women were certainly involved in all aspects of music-making throughout history, in some periods, such as the Middle Ages, there are few surviving pieces that we know were written by women. For this performance, we will present poetry by proto-feminist Christine de Pizan in dialogue with motets and chansons by the most important composer of the French Ars Nova, Guillaume de Machaut.
