Description
Stephen Alltop, conductor
Heinrich Biber (1644–1704) was one of the most innovative and daring composers of his time, stretching the bounds of harmony and instrumental technique. He was also one of the greatest violinists of the baroque era. The Baroque Music Ensemble will perform a rarely heard Biber masterwork, the Requiem à 15 — scored for five vocal parts, five string parts, and five wind parts. The program also includes several Biber motets for instruments and voices.
Tickets are $7 for the general public, $5 for seniors 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.
