This event has passed.

Schola Antiqua of Chicago, Artists-in-Residence at the Lumen Christi Institute, presented a program exclusively dedicated to the music of Josquin des Prez, one of the most important composers from the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. His fluid and persuasive style of composition encapsulates the transition between the sound-world of the late Middle Ages and that of the High Renaissance. The centerpiece of the concert featured a rare performance of the composer’s Mass for the Blessed Virgin, a four-voice setting of the Mass Ordinary that figures among the latest of the composer’s masses, written around 1510. The program, under the direction of Michael Alan Anderson (Eastman School of Music), was supplemented by three of Josquin’s most exceptional motets (sacred choral works).
