For most of the 14th century the papacy was situated in Avignon in the south of France. The Avignonese popes were great patrons of the arts, especially music. On Friday's (2/15) Distant Mirror the Ensemble Venace Fortunat and La Schola Choir of the University of Tours perform music from the popes' palace at Avignon from the cd Altera Roma. Join Allan Kelly at 10pm.
