The Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies and the School of Music co-host this year's annual symposium, which will explore issues in the contemporary scholarship on, and performance of, historical choral music. Participants will present their current thinking on pre-baroque 16th-century polyphony, Latin American and indigenous polyphonic traditions of the early colonial era, the roots of African American choral style, and cutting-edge issues in the study and performance of early choral music today.
Activities will begin Thursday evening, Nov. 16 at 8 p.m. with a concert of William Byrd's music by Fior Angelico in the Timashev Recital Hall. Other activities on Nov. 17 and 18 include an exhibit of early musical sources from the Thompson Library collections, and a master-class rehearsal of the Men's Glee Club with Jameson Marvin (Friday, Nov. 17 at 4:15 in Timashev 160).
