Schola Antiqua is an Early music vocal ensemble dedicated to music written before the year 1600. They will be performing Jerusalem 1000-1400, a program originally commissioned by the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The collective has received invitations to perform from the Indianapolis Early Music Festival, the University of Notre Dame, the Chicago Cultural Center, the American Guild of Organists, and other institutions across the country. The ensemble is currently Artist-in-Residence at the Lumen Christi Institute and formerly a resident artist at the University of Chicago.

A group that executes ancient repertories with “sensitivity and style” (Early Music America), Schola Antiqua takes pride in providing the highest standards of performance, research, and education of the Early music genre.

This event is sponsored in part by the Medieval Institute of Western Michigan University.
