A Boston première! From the years of pandemic in medieval France, the touching, bittersweet story of Machaut and his impossible romance with an admiring poetess. Their ensuing epistolary relationship, recorded and recounted in Machaut's novel Le livre du voir dit, leads to intense joy and deep sorrow, and to some of the Machaut's most profoundly felt musical and literary works.


We look forward to sharing this program with you along with two celebrations: Camerata Music Director Emeritus Joel Cohen’s 80th birthday and Artistic Director Anne Azéma’s elevation to Officier of the French Order of Arts and Letters.


The performance will also be available for on-demand streaming starting May 20.

The Boston Camerata requires patrons to be fully vaccinated and to wear a mask
at all times in the concert venue. We recommend that unvaccinated patrons consider
