X ',', Completely describe Project approved by the Grants Panel and in a separate narrative detail the revisions to the Project based upon the award. Please be as specific as possible; name of event, venue, times, etc. Also, detail the organization's participation in Second Thursdays. Miami Beach Anchors should list specifics about their mentoring program. The project, Missa Cantilena, performed by Mala Punic a, an Italian medieval music group, will take place at St. Patrick's Church on Saturday, May 3, 2003. As part of an American tour, the group will give a concert preceded by a discussion of the music by the group's director, Pedro Memelsdorff. Memelsdorff, a mediaeval music scholar and virtuoso recorder player, describes the work as an Italian Gothic Mass. "The concert stages an anthology of mass movements composed by two of the most famous composers of Italian Trecento: Matteo de Perugia and Antonia Zacra de Teramo. The music blends 'classical' ars nova counterpoint with 'popular' secular songs (cantilenae), a technique that later became significant for the whole of European Renaissance" . Beyond its historical significance, the concert is a striking visual event. The musicians and singers playa host of early, early instruments from vielles (violins) to echequiers (harpsichords) and carillon of Gothic bells, and use staging and lighting to heighten the effects of their performance. The musicians include Tina Aagard, Sabine Lutzenberger, Lavinia Bertotti and Barbara Zanichalli, sopranos; Alessandro Carmigiani, countertenor; Gianluca Ferrarini and Hector Rodriguez, tenors; Amandine Beyer and Fahrni Alqhai, vielles; Pablo Kornfeld, organ and echequier; Albert Macchiniu, carillon and Pedro Memelsdorff, recorder and direction. Missa Cantilena has been recorded and released by Erato/Warner and is one of the most feted of European classical recording in the last decade. It has received the Diapason d'Or, 10 de Repertoire, ffff Telerama, Platine Timbre - Opera Internationale, yearly award Studio Poland, yearly award Premio Vivaldi Venezia, Diapason d'Or de l' Anee..... Memelsdorff himself has become star of the early music scene in Europe appearing in media interviews and often in print, discussing his recordings and advocating for the exquisite and hither to little known music of the European late Middle Ages. Just last month, he received another prestigious award, Le Diapason d'Or for a recording of Narcisso Speculando, the music for which he first performed in the United States for the Miami Bach Society's ~opic:ar};aroque music: festi"ar III, last March. He was also heard on National Public Radio's Millenium of Music, which was recorded at the Utrecht Festival in Holland last August. The performance will be held at the newly renovated St. Patrick's Church at 3716 Garden Avenue. Because of the reduction in funding, however, only the evening concert will be able to be performed. The pre- concert lecture will be reduced to a short pre-performance talk, while a lecture with music will be held in another part of the South Florida community. Although the church will not allow tickets to be sold at the concert, they can be purchased in advance, by contacting the Bach Society.ffer them by mail or held at the door.. Donations of a recommended amount will also be accepted at the door. And the St. Patrick's musical director Giselle Rios has promised that the Society will clear at least $3,000 in revenues from either ticket sales or a donation from the Church. Following the performance, a reception will be given by the Miami Bach Society and the Dante Aleghieri Society, two co- sponsors of the event. The artists will be available to speak to the audience about the performance and to answer any further questions about their instruments or the music. The Bach Society will participate in Second Thursdays by presenting a concert of Early music performed by some of its orchestra members who comprise the University of Miami Baroque Ensemble, under the direction of Scott Flavin. The concert will be at 7:00 p.m., and will be part as part of the Art at St. John series. It will begin at 7:00 p.m. and include works of TeleIl1ann, Pergolesi, Vivaldi and Pachelbel. The Bach Society will be publicizing the event to its members and friends and to the print and electronic media as well.
