Music 147A - Early Music: 'Five College Collegium'

The Five College Collegium is the flagship ensemble of the Five College Early Music Program. The ensemble is made up of experienced singers and instrumentalists from the Five College Consortium, and prepares four large-scale projects in the course of the academic year for public performance. The Collegium rotates its rehearsal residency among the schools in the Five College system, and focuses on repertoire from the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods. Whenever possible, the Collegium invites professional musicians as guests to work with the ensemble on material that is relevant to the current project.

For the fall project -- New Spain and the Musical Legacies of Colonialism -- we will focus on early music from North and South American sources.

Prereq: enrollment is by audition only or previous participation in the ensemble.
