The Chapel of the Apostles
Free and open to the public
Please join us for a very special lecture-concert featuring the music of Josquin des Prez, a composer of the High Renaissance known for the profound power and intimacy of his polyphony.
The performance will be given by the internationally acclaimed vocal ensemble Cut Circle, and the pieces will be interspersed with comments by the group's director, Dr. Jesse Rodin (Stanford University). Dr. Rodin will discuss how the ensemble's approach to performance creates new modes of thinking about this early music. The concert will explore what is at stake when we re-embody (either as singers or as audience members) historical material of the Middle Ages and Renaissance.
This performance is free and open to the public, and sponsored by the Department of Music, the University Lectures Committee, The School of Theology, and the Sewanee Medieval Colloquium.
