Sunday, November 8 07:00 PM
Where:
Alice Millar Chapel - Evanston
Category:
Early Music

Description

Stephen Alltop, conductor; David Douglass, instrumental coach; Ellen Hargis, vocal coach

Members of the Baroque Music Ensemble perform two oratorios by Giacomo Carissimi: Jepthe and Jonah. Carissimi's setting of Jepthe for six voices and continuo is remarkable for its exquisite choruses and heartfelt laments. Equally dramatic is Jonah, scored for multiple soloists, chorus, violins, and continuo. Rounding out the program are two richly harmonic and virtuosic concerto grossi of Pietro Locatelli.

Tickets are $7 for the general public, $5 for senior citizens and Northwestern faculty and staff, and $4 for students.

Description

The Alice S. Millar Chapel and Religious Center (1962) was the gift of Foster G. McGaw, a University trustee, and his wife, Mary. Its 720-seat chapel was named in honor of Mr. McGaw’s mother, Alice S. Millar McGaw. Designed by Jensen and Halstead of Chicago, it houses a 100-rank Aeolian Skinner organ and is distinguished by its magnificent stained-glass windows and a 151-foot spire.
