Intense emotions of love and loss are explored in this program of exquisite vocal and instrumental pieces surrounding the reign of John the Fearless, the duke for which the mourners’ sculptures were created. Songs by medieval France's most famous composer-poet, Guillaume de Machaut, set the stage for works by Burgundian composers from the turn of the 15th century and the dawn of northern Europe's musical renaissance, including works by Cordier, Gernon, Dufay, and others. Mary Springfels, renowned viola da gamba player and longtime director of the Newberry Consort in Chicago, will serve as music director for this concert. SUBTILITAS, a group consisting of musicians specializing in early music performance from around the country, will perform these medieval Burgundian works. This concert is presented in conjunction with the exhibition The Mourners: Medieval Tomb Sculptures from the Court of Burgundy, on view October 3, 2010-January 2, 2011. Tickets for the concert are available exclusively through the Dallas Bach Society.

Undermain Theater, voted "Best Theatre" by D magazine in 2010, will present a reading of the 1921 play The Golem by H. Leivick.
A dramatic poem in eight scenes drenched in the magic and mystery of the Kabbala, The Golem retells the legend of a 16th-century rabbi who defies God by molding a huge clay figure to defend the Jewish community from attack. This archetypal legend dating back to the 16th century formed the basis for many tales of man-made creatures gone awry, including Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein.
