Thank you Ludwig van Toronto for having our first concert of the season as a Critic's Pick!

Guillaume de Machaut was a gifted poet and composer of the 1300s, and lived during the time of the Black Plague, and the Hundred Years War.

Whether its a donation of any size, or simply spreading the word by sharing this post, your support will help make history, and bring this great and nearly forgotten work to well-deserving ears.

Fun Fact: The oratorio itself was also crowd-funded back in the 1700s. 243 subscribers financed Jonah before its public release!
