Penn Chorale is an ensemble that sings a variety of choral music, concentrating on music composed in the 21st and late 20th centuries. Join the Penn Chorale on Sunday, March 19, 4:00 PM for a Spring Concert that touches on the many facets of the season.
The newly formed Penn Chamber Orchestra will be presenting their very first concert with some of the most iconic works of the genre, featuring music by Johannes Brahms and Felix Mendelssohn.
In this concert, Trefoil, “a hearty trio of medieval minstrels” (Philadelphia Inquirer) active since the start of the current millennium, will present songs from the Pennsylvania Chansonniere by Machaut and his contemporaries. With its trademark combination of voices and medieval plucked strings, Trefoil will bring these meta-texts alive in “otherworldly harmonies” (New York Times) with “subtlety, blend and nuance” (NPR) for the modern listener.
Composer Ted Moore will teach a week-long workshop March 6-10, 2023 on incorporating machine learning into creative and artistic practices. His workshops will focus on using the FluCoMa (Fluid Corpus Manipulation) toolkit in the MaxMSP programming language.
As part of the 2022-23 Penn Music Colloquium Series, the Penn Music Department presents Marcos Balter, Fritz Reiner Professor of Musical Composition at Columbia University, to discuss his recent works.
In this talk, Yun Emily Wang will present her paper that draws on fieldwork from 2013 to 2018 (the pivotal years during which Taiwan became the first Asian country to legalized same-sex marriage) and traces how a group of queer Taiwanese immigrants listen to and for multiple incommensurable sexual modernities in Toronto.
