SUMMARY:Alkemie opens its 2026-2027 season with “A Worthy Mirror” album
  release concerts
DESCRIPTION:Alkemie opens our 13th season with album release shows for “A
  Worthy Mirror.” This project represents a time-traveling dialogue with 
 the 12th-century trobairitz—the feminine counterpart of the poet-compose
 rs known as troubadours. Together with guest artist Amanda Gookin of Forwa
 rd Music Project\, we commissioned 8 female and non-binary composers to re
 spond to and converse with the 36 extant trobairitz texts (of which we onl
 y have music for one). This body of lyric poetry represents a large group 
 of historically female and anonymous femme voices in the literary traditio
 n. Witty\, ironic\, heartbreaking\, and erotic—these texts present a mir
 ror to reflect upon what feels foreign about the past and what feels famil
 iar\, what is the role of gender and self in relationships\, and how do we
  make space for the multiplicities of identity\, both in the 12th century 
 and today. \n\nThis album will be released on the New Focus label on Nove
 mber 6\, 2026. Pre-order the album here.\n\nWith \n\nTracy Cowart (voice\
 , harps)\n\nBen Matus (voice recorders\, dulcian\, bagpipes)\n\nDavid McCo
 rmick (vielle)\n\nSian Ricketts (voice\, recorders\, douçaines)\n\nNiccol
 o Seligmann (vielle\, psaltery\, scheitholt\, viola da gamba\, triangle)\n
 \nEllie Sutherland (voice)\n\nand guest artist\n\nAmanda Gookin\, cello\n\
 nThe program will be performed live in Brooklyn on November 5\, 2026 at th
 e Urbane Arts Club at 7:00 p.m.\; and in Manhattan on November 6\, 2026 at
  All Saints Episcopal Church. Both concerts will be followed by receptions
