NYC Medieval Festival at Fort Tryon was originally run by the history
department of Hunter College of CUNY,
very nicely too.
Until SCA took over......

For a number of years, I was music director for Poculi Ludiquae
Societas, the medieval drama society at the University of Toronto's
Institute of Medieval Studies during the 1980s:

We were committed to meticulous historical research as well as lively
performances. My job was to select music appropriate to the time and
culture of the plays being performed, and to provide suitable
musicians to perform it. We worked in very close association with the
professional early music performers in Toronto, to everyone's mutual
benefit.
We used to cringe whenever anyone mentioned the Society for Creative
Anachronism!
