The Florida International University School of Music Collegium Musicum is an ensemble that provides a forum for FIU students and members of the FIU community to study and publicly perform solo and ensemble music composed prior to 1800 and dances from before 1900. Some of the collegium's instruments include a Carl Fudge transposing Flemish double harpsichord made possible in part through a generous grant from the Lady Suzanna P. Tweed and Carleton Tweed Charitable Foundation, an archlute, a sackbutt, crumhorns, and a complete set of bows for baroque orchestra built by the English maker David Van Edwards.  Collegium members learn to apply historically aware performance practice to the vocal and instrumental music of pre-Romanctic eras through the acquisition of a working practical knowledge of musical and performance style characteristics of earlier repertoires.  In addition, students may also have the opportunity to learn to dance some of the popular dances of these eras.  During the fall semester Collegium members participate in concerts presented by other FIU ensembles, study performance practice issues, and prepare repertoire for the annual spring FIU Collegium Musicum concert.  The spring semester is devoted exclusively to preparation for this event.  For more information, to become a member, to participate in the collegium on any level, or to be notified of future collegium events, please contact Dr. Dolata at dolatad@fiu.edu or 305-348-2076.
