Toomey Lobby | Doors 6 p.m.

• Tekla Bude will present "CLARITY and CONSONANCE: Palestrina and 16th-century musical style." Palestrina's music is some of the most lauded of the Italian Renaissance, and it served as a model for composers for more than a century after his death. In this talk, we'll explore the reasons behind Palestrina's popularity. Live choral performances will illustrate the enduring attractiveness of his polyphonic style even for present-day lovers of choral music.
