About
Baroque Vocal Ensembles (EMS 2) provides an opportunity for CWRU and CIM students to explore the sacred and secular small-ensemble vocal repertoire of the 17th and 18th centuries (from Monteverdi madrigals to Clérambault cantatas to Bach motets), singing one-to-a-part, mostly with continuo accompaniment. Larger projects include collaborations with other CWRU Historical Performance and Cleveland Institute of Music ensembles/musicians, and gallery concerts at the Cleveland Museum of Art.
Director: Dr. Peter Bennett, Coordinator of Graduate Studies in Historical Perf Prac
