It paradoxically feels more involved. Founded at Oxford University, The Clerks' Group made its professional debut in 1992 and has since received widespread critical acclaim for performances and recordings of often neglected Renaissance repertoire. The group specializes in Flemish sacred music, and recently completed a series of recordings for ASV which champions the entire sacred output of Ockeghem, inarguably the most renowned composer of the late 15th century. For this series, they earned the prestigious Gramophone award. As part of their residency at UCSB, members of the Clerks' Group will conduct a master class with UCSB music students on Monday, February 26 at 7 p.m. in the UCSB Department of Music Building's Geiringer Hall.
Admission is free and the class is open to public observation.
