Music for Troubled Times: Harvard-Radcliffe Collegium Musicum Spring Concert

Sanders Theatre

Join Harvard-Radcliffe Collegium Musicum for our concert “Music for Troubled Times,” featuring Joseph Haydn’s Missa in Angustiis. One of his greatest choral-orchestral works, Haydn wrote this “Mass in Troubled Times” while Napoleon was taking over Europe; and it premiered during the pivotal Battle of the Nile, leading to its nickname, the Lord Nelson Mass. Our concert also features Love Songs from Lonely Letters, by Joel Thompson, with words by Ashon Crawley. This piece is an unabashed celebration of Black, queer love and joy, and we are thrilled to bring the East Coast premiere to our home audience and those watching our live stream. Our program also includes works by Felix Mendelssohn, Alice Parker, and Palestrina, as well as selections of Renaissance music by Collegium Underground, led by Sam Lyczkowski. This concert is conducted by Harvard faculty member Dr. Noah Horn and Resident Conductor Lorraine Fitzmaurice, and showcases vocal soloists Carley DeFranco, Elena Snow, Charles Blandy, and Bradford Gleim.
