The Duke University Collegium Musicum
Karen Cook, Director
One of the key features of DUMIC (Duke University Musical Instruments Collections) are its playing collections. This includes the Robert D. Miller and the Charles J. Warner Collections. The Duke Collegium Musicum, the ensemble for early music, also has a collection of instruments overseen by the DUMIC curator. These three playing collections of modern replicas of early instruments includes a wide range of woodwind and, thanks in particular to our newly arrived Warner Collection, string instruments. The main group performing on these instruments is the Collegium. This program will introduce listeners not only to the wealth of talent in this musical group but will be an introduction to the early instruments housed here at Duke. The presentation will be a hodgepodge of discussions about individual instrument families – their history, how we perform on them, their repertoire – and musical examples on each. Lutes, recorders, crumhorns, and other instruments will be included.
