Charles the Bold's death in battle on January 5, 1477 changed the course of European history. He was also a music lover who took musicians and composers with him on all his travels, including his military campaigns. We'll hear music from his court, plus selections from a mass associated with his marriage to Margaret of York. Our performers include The Binchois Consort and Gothic Voices.
