March Highlights
The Clerks’ Group |
University of Chicago Presents
The Clerks’ Group
8 p.m. Friday, March 2
Rockefeller Memorial Chapel, 5850 S. Woodlawn Ave. 702-8068. $28 general, $11 students.
Founded at Oxford University, this vocal group has made its reputation on often neglected Renaissance repertoire, particularly Flemish sacred music. In their Chicago debut, The Clerks’ Group will perform “The Rose and the Pomegranate,” a program that tells the story of the marriage of Mary I of England and Philip II of Spain. The match was intended to secure a new line of Roman Catholic monarchs in England: it resulted in a phantom pregnancy, separation and death. A mass by Thomas Tallis, motets originally sung by both English and Spanish court chapels at the time, and readings taken from diplomatic correspondence will take the audience back to this era.

“Paintings, 1980-1999” by Raoul De Keyser

10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesday-Friday; noon-5 p.m. Saturday-Sunday.
Room 418, Cobb Hall, 5811 S. Ellis Ave. 702-8670. Free.
Since the 1960s, the paintings of Belgian artist Raoul De Keyser have uniquely defined a place for themselves within the scope of contemporary art. Influenced by the post-war American Modernist movement, De Keyser’s canvases reference color-field painting and minimalism. This exhibition will include De Keyer’s work from 1980 through 1999, including monochrome, dualchrome and abstract forms.
