Join the musicians of Collectio Musicorum on Friday, October 12th at 8 PM at Christ and St. Stephen's Church for a most unusual concert of music by composers who have one thing in common--their names start with the letter P.
Perotin, Piero, Pelissier, and Pergolesi are just some of the composers represented. As with most Collectio concerts, the bulk of the music has never been heard in the US before. Included on program is a short opera by Purcell based on a biblical excerpt.
The church is located at 122 W 69th St, New York, NY 10023 and the concert is free.
The musicians of Collectio Musicorum will present a concert on Friday, May 18th at 8 PM at Christ and St. Stephen's Church on West 69th Street. Also entitled "Dufay and Friends," it will contain some of the same music performed on the recent Staten Island concert, but will also include additional works, such as pieces by Pierre Fontaine, Robert Morton, and the sole surviving work by the elusive Magister Gulielmus. Admission is free.

Collectio Musicorum is a participant in an upcoming exciting concert -- Dufay and Friends - Music from the Renaissance and Beyond.

It will feature the musicians of Collectio Musicorum performing music by Dufay and Binchois. Then, the chamber singers of Wagner College, under the direction of Dr. Roger Wesby, will sing a variety of pieces from all time periods. After this, these groups will be joined by friends and alumni of Dr. Cross in a variety of pieces from the Renaissance. It will conclude with some works by Josquin -- Dr. Cross' favorite composer.
