Therese Schroeder-Sheker is a multi-faceted, international  concert and recording artist whose specialty is the music of the late  middle ages (11th and 12th century) for harp, psaltery, recorder, portative  organ, and voice. Although she is an acclaimed scholar in her field, her  arrangements and performances are not merely re-creations of the past.  Instead, Schroeder-Sheker strives to offer an artistic expression of  tradition that will be compelling and pertinent to 20th century audiences.A former Associate Professor of Music at Regis College in Denver, Colorado,  Schroeder-Sheker has published papers on medieval music, has served as a  visiting artist and lecturer throughout the United States and Canada, and  has been the subject of many articles, radio, and television programs,  including documentaries on NBC and PBS. Schroeder-Sheker has received  international recognition for implementing the Chalice of Repose Project, a  program using music to assist in the process of dying that has been  employed by hospitals and hospices in the United States and abroad.
