SCHOLA MAGDALENA
Sunday March 8, 2009 at 4 pm

Schola Magdalena is a group of five women from the Church of St. Mary Magdalene who are dedicated to performing the music of the medieval liturgical tradition – from Gregorian chant to Hildegard of Bingen to the polyphonic masterpieces of Dufay.

The five talented singers made their concert debut at the Church of St. Theresa in Ottawa in July 2007 as part of the colloquium of the Gregorian Institute of Canada. Their performance garnered a standing ovation. The audience was captivated by the ethereal and sublime unison singing as well as the striking harmonies of the medieval tradition.

Schola Magdalena revives ancient pedagogical practices by learning music as an autonomous collective rather than following a conductor. Recent engagements of Schola Magdalena include Nuit Blanche 2007 at St. Thomas’s Anglican Church, a recital at the Laurier University Chapel, Waterloo, in October 2007 and a performance at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene’s annual Festival of Chant in November 2007.
