About the Artists

Schola Antiqua of Chicago is a professional early music ensemble dedicated to the performance of repertory before the year 1600. An ensemble that executes pre-modern music with “sensitivity and style” (Early Music America), Schola Antiqua takes pride in providing the highest standards of research, performance, and education as it highlights underserved repertories in the Western musical canon. Founded in 2000, the organization has received invitations to perform from festivals, libraries, universities, and other institutions across the Midwest. In 2006–07, Schola Antiqua was Artist-in-Residence at the University of Chicago.

Schola Antiqua is the winner of the 2012 Noah Greenberg Award from the American Musicological Society for outstanding contributions to historical performing practice. The group is directed by Michael Alan Anderson, Associate Professor of Musicology at the Eastman School of Music.
