Marginalia invites you to rewind the clock 800 years and to explore a world that has remained silent for too long. Journey with us through the streets of a bustling university town, full of bright, ambitious scholars from all over Europe. Follow them over the bridge onto the Île de la Cité and into the towering new cathedral of Notre Dame. There let yourself be transported by some of the most mesmerising and intricate music of all time, and put yourself in the shoes of the exquisitely talented, yet forever nameless singers who created it.
