Convivium Musicum 23/24 Season Preview:
Come along with Convivium as we travel all over the map this year! Our season will open with “O Quam Gloriosum: Music of the Late Spanish Renaissance,” where we will present works by Victoria, Morales, and Guerrero. Our winter concert, “Music for a French Cathedral,” will feature works by Ockeghem and Josquin, including several movements from Ockeghem’s Missa pro defunctis and Josquin’s beloved motet Déploration sur la mort d’Ockeghem. We will also celebrate the 550th anniversary of the passing of Dufay. Our spring concert, “Draw On Sweet Night,” will feature a variety of composers all meditating on the thoughts and emotions that arise between dusk and dawn, including Wilbye, Lasso, Aleotti, Palestrina, and more. We hope you will join us for a glorious season of music!
