Anonymous 4: 30 years and out

Anonymous 4, the female vocal quartet who paced the revival of medieval music in the US, will retire at the end of the 2015-16 season.

The group, whose current members are Marsha Genensky, Jacqueline Horner-Kwiatek, Susan Hellauer and Ruth Cunningham, formed in 1986; they cut back their activities in 2004.

Tom Huizenga, on NPR’s Deceptive Cadence blog, reports on the singers’ future plans:
