Join Eastman School of Music students and faculty on April 15, 5:00 pm, at the Interfaith Chapel for a live recitation from of the Passion of St. Mark from a 16th-century manuscript passional from River Campus Libraries’ medieval manuscript collection. Singing directly from the source, performers will bring the commemoration of Holy Week in early modern France into 21st-century Rochester. Students will decipher the ancient notation and text from the manuscript in real time, connecting past and present in a transformative experience for performers and audience alike.
 

The performance is directed by Michael Alan Anderson, Professor and Chair of the Musicology at the Eastman School of Music. 
 

This event is cosponsored by the Rossell Hope Robbins Library; Eastman’s Musicology Department and the Department of Organ, Sacred Music & Historical Keyboards; the Premodern Cluster; and the CNY Humanities Corridor.
