Join Eastman School of Music students and faculty on Tuesday, March 31, 5:00 pm, at the Interfaith Chapel for a live recitation of the Passion of St. John 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 of the Musicology at the Eastman School of Music.

Sponsored by the Humanities Project, Robbins Library, RBSCP, Arthur Satz Department of Music, Department of Musicology, Department of Organ, Sacred Music, and Historical Keyboards.
