Stetson Chapel - Kalamazoo, MI

In Partnership with the Western Michigan University Medieval Institute

Following their sold out performance for Fontana in 2010, Anonymous 4 returns to Kalamazoo with a new program entitled Marie & Marion, which examines fin amours – fine, courtly love - as applied to both devotion to Mary, and earthly love for Marion, Marot, Marotele, and their amorous sisters. In a program featuring Latin and French motets, it summarizes the ethos of an entire age in Western civilization, wrapped in music of endless variety and exotic beauty.
