Early Music in Ann Arbor: Enjoy the 2007–2008 Season!The Academy of Early Music will sponsor or support several exciting early music events during the 2007 – 2008 season, from keyboards through baroque violin to larger ensembles. Thanks to the generosity of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in providing our venue, the Academy Concert Series will feature three fine performances:
In addition to these events, the Academy will present House Concerts during the year. The first House Concert will take place at 4:00 on Sunday, November 11, at the home of Academy secretary Stephanie Rosenbaum. It will feature harpsichordist Ling-Ju Lai, a doctoral student of Edward Parmentier. Other early music events this year which the Academy will support include a contribution for the accompanist of Kiri Tollaksen’s Stearns Collection lecture on September 22 and publicity assistance for the Ann Arbor Grail Singers concert at St. Thomas Catholic Church on April 27, 2008. Please Mark Your Calendars with all these dates, and check the Academy website for details as the performance dates draw near. Also check the Events page for other area performances. For more information on upcoming events, please see our Calendar Events Page. Giving a Concert? Rent the Academy Organ!
If you attend early music concerts in Michigan or Ohio, you've probably
heard the continuo organ owned by the Academy of Early Music. Made in
Holland by Gerrit Klop, the Academy's organ is designed for chamber music
and choral accompaniment, with a transposing keyboard for performances in
either A415 or 440. "There we should talk over the lessons of the day, or lose them in Musick, Chess, or the merriments of our family companions. The heart thus lightened, our pillows would be soft, and health and long life would attend the happy scene." (Thomas Jefferson, 1771)
