Schola Cantorum and the Monks of Christ in the Desert Monastery
The Saint John’s Bible and Contemplative Landscape
Mar 11, 2012
Back by popular demand: Santa Fe's Schola Cantorum and the monks of Christ in the Desert Monastery return to the History Museum for a performance of ancient European chants. The performers turned away hundreds of visitors at their last performance in December; we're moving this one to the History Museum lobby, which seats more people and has luscious acoustics. The event is free with admission; Sundays free to NM residents. Part of the programming series for
The Saint John's Bible and
Contemplative Landscape. Music will include ancient Holy Week chants of 10th century Europe and polyphony of Europe's 16th century Renaissance. In honor of Saint Patrick's day, the Schola will share chants from Ireland's "Dublin Troper" published in 1360.
