The PBAU Early Music Festival presents Il Furioso, described by critics as “an early music power trio.” For this concert they are joined by rising star male soprano Robert Crowe in a performance of works from their latest CD for Toccata Classics, featuring the first recordings of George Frideric Handel’s complete “Amen, Alleluia” arias, along with stunning vocal works from 17th-century England and instrumental music for the theorbo and organ.

The show will be held in Helen K. Persson Recital Hall in Vera Lea Rinker Hall at 8 p.m.

Tickets: $10 general admission; $5 students with ID; PBA students free.

Join us for Concert I of the Early Music Festival, which features Monteverdi’s “II Combattimento di Tancredi E Clorinda” at 8 p.m. in Vera Lea Rinker Hall on April 7.

This performance is directed by Michael O’Connor and prepared by the Opera Workshop and Producing Director, Marilyn Mims. Performers include Victor Coelho, David Dolata, and Juvenal Correa-Salas of Il Furioso and Adriana Ruiz.

Tickets: $10 general admission; $5 students with ID; PBA students free.

Festival rate: $15 for both performances (Concert I and Concert II on April 8th) if purchased prior to Friday night’s concert.

 

Beginning in Fall 2017, keyboard player and conductor Juvenal Correa-Salas will take over FIU’s Collegium Musicum from David Dolata, who will turn his attention to teaching the graduate Bibliography course instead.

For further information about Collegium Musicum, contact Juvenal Correa-Salas at jcorreas@fiu.edu. For permission numbers, registration information, or instrument check-outs, contact Dr. Dolata at dolatad@fiu.edu.

 

Tolgahan Çoğulu will present his award-winning instrument design microtonal guitar explaining its underlying concept and repertoire. The first prize winner in the 2014 Margaret Guthman Musical Instruments at Georgia Tech, Microtonal Guitar was accepted and funded as a scientific research project at the Istanbul Technical University Dr. Erol Uçer Center for Advanced Studies in Music. All the frets of the microtonal guitar are movable in the channels under each string. Besides, any number of frets can be inserted into or removed from the fretboard.

David Dolata will introduce the Encyclopedia of Tablature, scheduled to be released in 2017, containing 450+ essays on 40 types of tablature written by an international team of leading experts. After its release, the Encyclopedia will take its place as the only comprehensive reference source on tablature. The Encyclopedia is published under the auspices of the Centre d’Études Supérieures de la Renaissance/CNRS, the publisher of the famous series of books on French lute tablature, and Brepols in Belgium, and co-edited by Philippe Vendrix, John Griffiths, and David Dolata.

Viol class usually takes place on Tuesdays from 3:30–5:00 in WPAC 157 though it is still too early to firmly establish the schedule. Rehearsals for the Reformation concert will take place either on Tuesday afternoons at 3:30–5:00 (at the same time as Viol Class) or Tuesday evenings at 5pm and/or on an ad hoc basis depending on the participants’ schedules. Many of the rehearsals will take place as a component of another ensemble’s rehearsal time, e.g., choir, orchestra, etc.

Please let Dr. Dolata know if you are interested as soon as you can and contact him with any questions.
