Shepherd Express | Early Music Now’s Concert of Beautiful, Medieval French Music

“TENET Vocal Artists is a New York City-based early music ensemble, and they chose Milwaukee’s Early Music Now series to express their talent with “The Sounds of Time: Songs of the Trouvères.”

Led by soprano Jolle Greenleaf, who is both a lead singer and TENET’s artistic director, the group sang songs composed by trouvères—poets from northern France in the Middle Ages. True to Early Music Now’s mission, this was an effort to bring more cultural diversity to the current music scene, introducing audiences to sonorities they probably never heard before; a pre-concert lecture was given to put the music in context.”
