How did Medieval artists get exposed to new music, pick up new skills or instruments, and develop their artistry? Guests Allison Monroe (Trobár) and Liza Malamut (Newberry Consort) share performances from a program that explored 14th and 15th century Medieval “Minstrel Schools,” where musicians from across Europe gathered to exchange ideas, repertoire, and more.
