Hesperus celebrates its reincarnation as an Early Music Improv Collective with a program spotlighting the largest surviving collection of instrumental pieces before 1450, the Faenza Codex. The concert will feature performances of ten of the original French, Italian and English original pieces, their ornamented Faenza versions, and the musicians’ own improvisations in Faenza Codex-style.
