HESPERUS celebrates its reincarnation as an early music improv collective with a program of twelve medieval improvisations inspired by a dozen manuscript illuminations from Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry. Tina Chancey and Mark Rimple present a varied program spanning the high Middle Ages through the dawn of the Renaissance.

“Engaging stage presence, backed by programs put together with exceptional imagination…irresistible!” (Washington Post). Since 1979, Hesperus has connected curious modern audiences to the rich musical past through collaborations with film, dance, mime, theater and world music. Hesperus has toured Europe and the Far East; performed at Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall and Kennedy Center; and recorded over a dozen CDs and DVDs.
