Description

The Department of Music presents the UMBC Collegium Musicum under the direction of Lindsay Johnson, joined by the Consorted Effort, a faculty/staff recorder ensemble. In this concert of early music that draws on intense emotion and fantasy, students will perform on replica Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque instruments.

The UMBC Collegium Musicum explores and performs vocal and instrumental music from Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods, sampling musical repertoires created between 800 and 1750. Under the direction of Lindsay Johnson, the Collegium plays on historical instruments from the Department of Music’s collection — recorder, crumhorn, racket, cornetto, shawm, harp, guitar, drum, chamber organ, harpsichord, and Baroque violin, viola, cello, and gambas on loan from the Viola da Gamba Society of America.

Admission is free, and tickets are not required.
