Schola Antiqua joins the Newberry Consort to present a concert of works engaging the musical culture of Renaissance Prague at the 2024 meeting of the American Musicological Society. Inspired by a previous touring program curated by Erika Honisch and including a tribute to Lenka Hlávková, the two ensembles come together for the first time to perform scintillating works by Jan Trojan Turnovský, Kryštof Harant, Philippe de Monte, Jacobus Handl-Gallus, Jan Vencálek, Nicolaus Zangius, Michael Praetorius, Orlando di Lasso, and earlier sources for voices and Renaissance winds. The 90-minute program will be illuminated with projected images and translations, and in-concert remarks by scholars Liza Malamut, Michael Anderson, and Erika Honisch.
