The Prince and Father of Music: Palestrina at 500

Loyola Academy McGrath Family Performing Arts Center 3455 Illinois Rd, Wilmette, IL
Schola Antiqua of Chicago, Artists-in-Residence

REGISTER HERE The quincentennial of the birth of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina is an occasion to recognize the outstanding legacy of this talented musician not only in realm of sacred music but also in the history of composition more broadly. In an 80-minute concert presentation without intermission, Schola Antiqua explores an array of Palestrina’s sacred choral works, ranging from hymn and psalm settings to motets and spiritual madrigals. In-concert commentary illuminates Palestrina’s central role as conservator of Catholic plainchant and the ‘perfect art’ of imitative counterpoint. Schedule Forthcoming
