The Schola Cantorum from the Eastman School of Music is directed by Prof Stephen Kennedy and focuses on music of plainsong, motets of the Renaissance and Romantic eras, as well as contemporary music and improvisation. The group has been featured in various national radio broadcasts, appeared in international festivals and concerts, and collaborated with ensembles such as the Boston Early Music Festival Chamber Ensemble and Ensemble Weser-Renaissance Bremen.  The Schola has recorded for the Arsis and Loft labels.

On Thursday March 26th, they will be led by Prof Honey Meconi and will share a program of the music of St. Hildegard of Bingen,a 12th century scholar, poet, and composer, in the Interfaith Chapel of Strong Memorial Hospital. 

Every Thursday the chapel hosts live music which streams to patient TVs on channel 1 and is open to all to attend in person, entering and leaving as you need to. This music series is made possible in part from a National Endowment for the Arts grant, URMC Chaplaincy, and Eastman Performing Arts Medicine Center.
