Founded in 1986 by Professors Richard H. Peake and the late Jack Mahony, both of the Department of Language and Literature, the Medieval-Renaissance Conference began as a way of promoting scholarly activity on campus and providing visibility for the College in the larger academic community. The first conference was a success, hosting twelve speakers from mainly area colleges. Welcoming papers on all areas of medieval and renaissance studies, including literature, history, philosophy, art and music, the conference has enjoyed steady growth and increased national presence, with speakers representing institutions across the country – and the occasional international speaker. By the late 1990s it had grown to a gathering of thirty or forty presentations per year, growth that continues the legacy of Professors Peake and Mahony and confirms the value of an academic conference at the College. In spite of this growth, the conference remains small enough to foster a sense of academic community, generating lively discussions and feedback not always achievable at larger conferences. We also work to maintain an open, informal and friendly setting for participants. Many younger scholars, presenting their first academic paper, find their experience with the conference encouraging and helpful to their academic growth.

Robed in magnificent costumes and playing traditional Tibetan instruments, the Loseling monks perform ancient temple music and chants for world healing. The Drepung Loseling monks are particularly renowned for their multiphonic chanting known as zok-kay (complete chord). Each of the main chantmasters simultaneously intones three notes, thus each individually creating a complete chord. The Tibetans are the only culture on earth that cultivates this most extraordinary vocal ability. In recent years The Mystical Arts of Tibet, featuring the famed multiphonic singers of Drepung Loseling monastery, have taken the world by storm. Endorsed by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, they have performed in many of America's greatest theaters and music halls, and have twice been featured artists at the Smithsonian Folklife Festival.

Grammy-winner Terrance Simien takes audiences on a multicultural tour of the world inspired the many countries which have informed his musical language. He creates a hypnotic blend of New Orleans funk-reggae-flavored-world-blues-American zydeco roots music that beckons you to your feet and into the groove. Leading his Zydeco Experience band, Simien has become one of the most respected and accomplished artists in American roots music today. Terrance and his loyal and skilled band mates have shared studio & stage with Robert Palmer, Stevie Wonder, Los Lobos, Taj Mahal, Dr. John, the Meters, Alan Toussaint, Paul Simon and Dave Matthews Band among others. Simien's family is documented in history books as one of the first Creole families to settle St. Landry Parish. His musical roots are firmly planted alongside the great zydeco pioneers like Chenier, Delafose, Chavis, Ardoin and that other Simien, Rockin Sidney, to name a few. He counts himself one of the fortunate few who hail from a generation with a direct link to these artists, some of whom mentored him as an emerging talent.

The two performers, Dave Shenton (piano/violin) and Dave Eggar (cello/piano), engage in a dynamic musical exchange, each pushing the other to greater heights of creativity and skill, resulting in a hilarious, virtuosic & original concert experience. At the end of each performance the audience ultimately crowns a winner, following an evening of breathtaking musicianship, clever comedy, and a Star Wars inspired duel. ​Cellist and five-time Grammy-nominated composer Dave Eggar has appeared as a featured solo performer at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, Barbican Center London, the Sydney Opera House, Aspen Music Festival, Lincoln Center and more. His mission to “not just cross over, but to cross through” multiple genres of music is apparent with all of his releases. Whether it’s classical, reggae, bluegrass, jazz, pop, or world music, he finds a common voice within his musical vocabulary and introduces it with his own unique and imaginative vision. ​Dave Shenton is a violinist, pianist, composer, arranger, and producer whose artistry transcends genres and boundaries. With a rare versatility and unmatched musicianship, he brings passion, precision, and creativity to every performance and project.
