The 2000-2001 Saul O Sidore Memorial Lecture Series is sponsored by the Sidore Foundation and the University of New Hampshire Center for the Humanities. 98 Summer St. in Portsmouth. In helping celebrate the 150th anniversary of Portsmouth's Immaculate Conception Church, Kempster has chosen the rarely heard Missa Sancta Anna by Pierre de la Rue, one of the great masters of the central Renaissance. This mass is a very approachable and vibrant work, according to Kempster. It will mirror liturgical practice in its presentation as it will be performed in sections, separated by other, shorter works by Renaissance masters.
Admission is free, and the concert is open to the public.
