Collegium Musicum

The Yale Collegium Musicum, a chorus comprised of students, staff and faculty from throughout the University, will include four concerts featuring medieval, Renaissance, Baroque and contemporary music in its second season.

On Oct. 1, new works by ten Yale composers will be premiered in a program titled "Mina, Maxine, Marianne ... and more." The texts of these compositions are by women whose papers are held in the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library. Other programs in the series will be "Influencing Handel" on Dec. 8; "Winter Words" on Feb. 11; and "Ferdinand III's Vienna" on April 28. All concerts will be held at the Beinecke Library.

Those interested in singing for the chorus should attend the Sept. 3 rehearsal, 6-7:30 p.m. in Rm. 209 of William L. Harkness Hall, 100 Wall St. For more information, send e-mail to richard.lalli@yale.edu.
