About This Event

On Saturday 12 September, St Cecilia's Hall will host a captivating afternoon with the Linarol Consort and soprano Héloïse Bernard. Their performance, titled Epitaph For a Green Lover, commences at 3pm and offers a unique exploration of the life of Margaret of Austria. A formidable patron of the arts, Margaret's influence resonates through the very music presented, drawn directly from her personal manuscripts. The programme promises a delightful immersion into her world, featuring chansons that vividly capture her diverse passions. Listeners can anticipate melodies that evoke her love of dance, her appreciation for song, and even a charming nod to her beloved pet parrot. This promises to be an engaging and historically rich musical experience, with tickets priced at £23.

The performance will tell the remarkable story of Margaret of Austria, one of the greatest patrons of the arts, through music from her own manuscripts. The programme's title comes from the remarkable chanson Soubz ce tumbel, with its tragic text by Margaret's court poet, Jean Lemaire, taken from his Epitaphe de l'Amant Vert, in which the Green Lover refers to the beloved green parrot.

The Linarol Consort will be joined by soprano Héloïse Bernard in this unique exploration of Margaret's life. The programme promises a delightful immersion into her world, featuring chansons that vividly capture her diverse passions, including her love of dance, her appreciation for song, and even a charming nod to her beloved pet parrot.

The concert will take place in the Concert Room & Music Museum at St Cecilia's Hall, The University of Edinburgh, on Sunday 12 September at 3pm. Tickets are available for £23. Children aged 18 and under can book free tickets. The event is supported by the Continuo Foundation.
