Collegium Musicum
Welcome to the Department of Music's early music performance ensemble. The Collegium Musicum
is an organization of students, staff, and community members interested
in the performance of Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque music. The ensemble takes different forms each semester, and works in conjunction with the UNC Viol
Consort (under the direction of Professor Brent Wissick). Please check with Professor Wissick for current information on the performance opportunities in association with Collegium.
The membership and repertory of the Collegium vary from year to year. Works performed in recent years have ranged from motets by the medieval poet-musician Guillaume de Machaut and the Renaissance composers Josquin, Tallis, and Lasso to madrigals by Monteverdi, the oratorio Jonas by Carissimi, and motets by J.S. Bach.
The Music Department owns harpsichords, viola da gambas, and other historical instruments that are made available to those involved in the Collegium.
