Under the direction of Northwestern University School of Music faculty member Mary Springfels, the renowned ensemble will perform 17th and 18th century masterworks. The concert is part of the Evelyn Dunbar Memorial Early Music Festival and was made possible by the generous support of the Dunbar-Davee family. Family and friends of the School of Music are invited to join the faculty and student performers in a gala celebration of the School's 100th birthday. Faculty members Sunny Joy Langton and Karen Brunssen will co-produce this memorable performance. This special performance by Northwestern's Early Music Ensemble concludes the School of Music Early Music Festival, a week-long celebration scheduled for April 28 through May 4 that includes other concerts, master classes and open rehearsals with leading historical dance authority Charles Garth and renowned early music conductor Joshua Rifkin.
