With lute and ud The Toronto Consort makes a musical pilgrimage to Santiago (April 28, 29), the famous town in northern Spain where, even today, thousands of pilgrims flock every year. In medieval times, Santiago was just as much a magnet, and as they walked along the road to the shrine, the pilgrims enlivened their travel with songs and dances. With lute and ud, with hurdygurdy and pipe, with voice and drum, the Consort takes you on a very unique musical journey through medieval Europe. Website: www .torontoconsort.org Frank T.
