PATRICK DUPRE QUIGLEY, CONDUCTOR
CHORUS, PERIOD KEYBOARD INSTRUMENTS, CELLO
HONEY MECONI, CONSULTING SCHOLAR, UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER

Artistic Director Patrick Dupre Quigley gives you a crash course on the history of Western music in one lively evening with chorus, period keyboard instruments, and cello. You’ll hear the contrasts and connections between eras: the stark simplicity of Medieval chant, the rich polyphony of the Renaissance, the ornate structure of the Baroque, the elegant balance of the Classical, the passionate intensity of the Romantic, and the creative ingenuity of the Contemporary. Don’t miss this chance to experience the evolution of Western music in a new and exciting way.
