Auralizing the Medieval Image

The Music of Ste. Foy at Conques 

10 Februrary 2023, 7:30 pm PT (In-Person)

Bing Concert Hall, Stanford University

From the same artistic and scholarly team who brought a recreation of Hagia Sophia to Bing several years ago, Stanford’s Art and Art History department and Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics group collaborate with Marcel Pérès and his Ensemble Organum to re-create the spiritual sights and sounds from the medieval Office of Ste. Foy at Conques. This first modern musical realization of the eleventh-century liturgical chant features a close connection between melody, golden image, relief sculpture, and the resonant acoustics of the Romanesque architecture of stone vaults.

Learn more about the project here and visit the related exhibition at the Stanford Art Gallery "AudioVision in the Middle Ages: Ste. Foy at Conques" (January 24–March 17). On February 10—the day of the concert at Bing—the gallery exhibit will be open from 1 pm to 7 pm PT.
