FALL (2025)
Mysteries and Deceit: Misattributed Masterpieces
 
Join Convivium as we explore repertoire that has been credited, either through accident or deception, to the wrong composer. The centerpiece will be Bauldeweyn’s Missa da Pacem, formerly attributed to Josquin; and we will share other works misattributed to Obrecht, Isaac, Victoria, and Palestrina. 
 
Concert 1
Saturday, Nov. 22, 7pm
All Saints Parish, Brookline
Concert 2
Sunday, Nov. 23
First Unitarian Church, Worcester

WINTER (2025/2026)
Discovering Anonymous
 
Many Renaissance pieces were published with no composer listed. We will be sharing the premiere of a mass from a Cambrai Cathedral manuscript, discovered by Boston musicologist Sam Bradley. The five double-choir masses in this manuscript are the earliest known polychoral masses from France. We will also be sharing other works ranging from French chansons to English anthems; Anonymous was prolific!

Concert 2
