CANTON - St. Lawrence University's Early Music Ensemble will 
perform a concert of Musica Italia, Italian music from the 
Middle Ages and Renaissance, on Sunday, May 4, at 4 p.m. in 
Gunnison Memorial Chapel. The event is open to the public, 
free of charge.
	The concert is a tour in sound of the Italian peninsula, 
from 14th-century Florence to 15th-century Rome to 16th-century 
Venice, with stops in Mantua, Bologna and other destinations. 
Works by Landini, DuFay, de Rore, Marenzio, Palestrina, Gabrieli 
and others are included. 
	The Early Music Ensemble, directed by Barry Torres, is 
a group of students, faculty and community members dedicated to 
the performance of medieval, Renaissance and Baroque music. The 
ensemble consists of two groups, the Early Music Players and the 
Early Music Singers. The Players perform on both modern 
instruments and replica period instruments from the University's 
Romer Collection. The Singers is an ensemble of 12 vocalists 
modeled after the chapel choirs of the Renaissance.
