About

Collegium Musicum specializes in performing medieval and Renaissance vocal and instrumental music. Directed by Dr. Elena Mullins Bailey and coached by graduate students and guest artists, the ensemble performs on replicas of period instruments—such as shawms, sackbuts, recorders, renaissance flutes, vielle, rebec, and percussion—from the Kulas Collection of Historical Instruments.

The group performs once or twice per semester in venues on and off campus and often collaborates with other Historical Performance ensembles on larger projects.
