Concert: Schola Musicorum Presents Abend-Musique XXXIV

-

Location: DeBartolo Performing Arts Center, Reyes Organ and Choral Hall

A concert of Gregorian chant for the Dedication of a Church from medieval manuscripts.

The Schola Musicorum was formed in 1993 by members of the Department of Music to study and perform Gregorian chant directly from medieval manuscripts and early printed sources. Seventeenth-century German composer Dietrich Buxtehude used the term Abend-Musique to refer to his late-afternoon Sunday concerts in the Marienkirche in Lubeck. (The German-French name means literally “Evening Music.”) The Schola Musicorum is directed by Alexander Blachly, a professor in the Department of Music.

Tickets are $3.00 and can be purchased by contacting the DeBartolo Performing Art Center at 574.631.2800.
