The International Musicological Colloquium begins today

On the premises of the Department of Musicology a jubilee fiftieth International Musicological Colloquium begins today. In connection with the recent discovery of two manuscripts of Renaissance polyphony in the Saint James Church in Brno, this year is dedicated to the 15th and 16th century music culture. A concert of the ensemble Societas Incognitorum will take place within the Colloquium.

Within the next three days more than twenty scholars from seven European countries will give lectures on repertoire and musical practice of the Renaissance period on the premises of the Department of Musicology. The concert of the Societas Incognitorum mentioned above will take place on Tuesday 13th October at 7 p.m. at Saint Joseph’s Church. A truly unique programme will be heard: Lutheran mass in Renaissance Prague by Hans Leo Hassler and Johann Knefl.
